These are earlier than your atlas, from 1946, but do show the Meuse at Dinant, although this bridge was replaced and renamed in the 50s and is now a home to many saxophones. This is my great grandfather with a boat he built and his dog. He would have loved these maps!
A motorboat moored on the river Meuse in front of the bridge at Dinant in Belgium in 1946. 1946 black and white portrait of a Dachshund-ish dog chewing a bone or a rope on the cobbles of the riverbank while a man in short sleeves repairs a wooden boat. In the background is the river Meuse and the bridge at Dinant in Belgium.

And every country feels that their frites/chips/fries are best and part of a national story. And everything is influenced by different people from different places.

(Belgian frites are best obv).

E.g. in France 👇

Glorious. If only I could draw.

Also, mood. It is grey and muggy out there “and so am I”.
