A vintage print of the simplified, general overview map of the 1739 Turgot map of Paris. In 1734, Michel-Etienne Turgot, then mayor of Paris, contracted Louis Bretez to draw up a plan of Paris and its suburbs. Bretez was given permission to enter all the mansions, houses, and gardens in Paris, in order to gain accurate measurements for his drawings. It would take two years. Claude Lucas then engraved the 21 copper plates of the plan in 1736 and an atlas of 20 detailed isometric projection aerial-view maps depicting every building in Paris and one overview map was published in 1739. The simplified general map gives an overview of the sectional maps and indicates their locations in a 4 x 5 grid. This print on offer was printed from the original plates, late 1800s to early 1900s. Image size: 32 x 24 inches. Paper size: 35.25 x 24.75 inches, on thick laid paper, with plate-embossed marks visible to the back. Condition: Light tanning overall, roughing to the edges, and a moisture stain to the back which isn't visible on the front; image is fine. The print has been stored rolled for many years. Will be mailed rolled in a heavy card tube and shipped the next business day after payment is received.…
