An old map of Paris.
Second edition. Beautiful monumental plan of Paris, illustrating the expansion works of Baron Haussmann. This plan, published in 1860, is among the very first plans of modern Paris. The present edition of 1860 has been revised and updated by the architect Alfred Potiquet. Paris is divided into twenty arrondissements. These were created in 1859, when the suburbs located between the fortifications of the enclosure of Thiers and the wall of the Farmers General were annexed to Paris. Each district, water colored in one color, is divided into 4 districts. The boulevards proposed by Haussmann are indicated as orange roads on the map, cutting through the plan of the ancient city. See our editions of 1858 (10736.000) and 1861 (10716.000) for numerous interesting changes in both the organization of the city and the evolution of the Haussmann plan. This copy includes a printed index and covers.
