A  large and attractive map of Paris dating to the 1860s.  This fine map of central Paris was the only cartographic endeavor of the Paris-dwelling Italian Anglophile, Antonio Galignani.  Galignani would have prepared this map for sale to English tourist through his English language bookshop on Rue de Rivoli, in downtown Paris.  As such, this is a rather unusual document, a map made in the French style but with text in the English language.  Labels streets, buildings, and arrondissements in superb detail.  Inset map of the Paris vicinity in the upper right.  Lower left quadrant features a “Guide to the Principal Objects of Curiosity in Paris”.
