This collection is an exceptional record of rural organization and regulations in early 20th-century France . Beautifully calligraphed in black and red ink, it compiles decrees, laws, and regulations concerning quarries, rural roads, plantations, rural offenses, and even burial plots. The lined pages, typical of early accounting records, structure texts that are both technical and administrative. It is a manual used by a town hall or local administration for the day-to-day management of rural affairs . The collection is in excellent condition for a document of this age, with a lovely handwritten label on the cover.
