A finely detailed plan of Paris also depicts its surrounding faubourgs and environs. A long note at lower right tells that Paris is divided into three parts, namely the City, the Town and the University. A lettered key names and locates 23 important buildings. This fully engraved and handsome chart is further embellished with a large city coat of arms and very nice compass rose. This superb plan shows the streets, churches, palaces, gardens, boat yards, orchards, hotels and much more. Three distance scales.
