Very good. Light wear along original fold. Text on verso. Size 5 x 7.75 Inches. A charming c. 1960 map of the Marais neighborhood of Paris, straddling the 3rd and 4th arrondissement, by an unknown artist. It highlights many of the famous sites in the area, particularly Les Halles, Paris's main agricultural exchange and food market until its controversial demolition in the early 1970s. A Closer Look Oriented somewhat towards the northeast, this pictorial map covers the Marais and neighboring locations, including Les Halles and the Île de la Cité. One of the most storied neighborhoods in Paris, the Marais spans French history from the Knights Templar to the French Revolution and Paris' post-World War II revival. It contains museums dedicated to the history of Paris (Musée Carnavalet) and France (Musée des Archives Nationales). Churches, museums, and other historic buildings are labeled throughout. Crossed forks and knives near Les Halles indicate several famed restaurants. Illustrations of local landmarks and the culinary smorgasbord of les Halles appear in the margins. The verso includes text from two non-consecutive pages of an article relating to Les Halles. Publication History and Census This pictorial map was drawn by an unknown artist and, despite the text on the verso, we have been unable to identify in which publication it appeared. It is undated, but from the appearance of the illustrations and the depiction of Les Halles here (prior to its demolition in the early 1970s) it dates from around 1960.

Excellent. Size 9 x 12.75 Inches. This is a fascinating 1716 Nicholas de Fer schematic map of the aqueducts, fountains, and underground pipes of Paris, France. Paris was growing quickly at this time and faced a major challenge in that its water supply system was inadequate for its swelling population. The map addresses some of the immediate concerns of the period: sanitation and water supply. A Closer Look Oriented towards the northeast, this map covers what is now the central section of Paris, roughly from the Place Vendôme at top to the Place de la Bastille at bottom, and the area around the Jardin du Luxembourg at left to the area that today is just south of Gare de l'Est in the 10th Arrondissement at right. Abbreviations are explained above the scale at bottom-left; 'R.' here is not an abbreviation for 'rue' but for 'regard,' meaning 'manhole,' which in this context was a small stone hut that allowed access to the wells, pipes, and aqueducts providing water to the city. Explanatory text at bottom-right refers to other pages in the Atlas Curieux where all the fountains were listed. Historical Context The context for this map is that Paris had long suffered chronic shortages of water, a problem that was only worsening by the year as the capital's population grew (from 415,000 in 1637 to 600,000 in 1700). Some of the city's water came from springs and wells, but the majority came from the Seine, which was filled with wastewater and other impurities. There was very little understanding of the sources of waterborne disease at the time, and Paris' sewer system was equally inadequate, so that the result was a city rife with disease. Still, even the tainted water supply was insufficient to meet the city's needs. Efforts undertaken in the reign of Henry IV and his successor Louis XIII (discussed below) improved the situation somewhat. Still, it was only in the last days of the Ancien Régime and into the Napoleonic Period that more noticeable improvements came. Only the remaking of Paris by Georges-Eugène Haussmann (and the development of germ theory) in the 1850s and 1860s left Paris with a ready supply of clean water, and good sewers to boot. The 'Aqueduc Médicis' The 'Grands reservoirs des eaux de Rungis' referred to at left were connected to the city via the 'Aqueduc Médicis,' named after Marie de Médicis, the wife of Henry IV and queen until his assassination in 1610, and then regent to her young son, Louis XIII (r. 1610 - 1643). Improving Paris' water supply had been a major concern for Henry IV, and during her regency, Mary was determined to complete an aqueduct from Rungis, as discussed by the late king. Louis XIII laid the first stone for the aqueduct in honor of his slain father in 1613, and it was completed and went into service a decade later, in 1623. Mostly built underground, the aqueduct has one large and impressive bridge across the Bièvre Valley. It closely follows the path of a Roman aqueduct built in the 2nd or early 3rd century CE, which was only briefly in use before attacks on the city forced residents of the left (south) bank to flee to the Île de la Cité. Parisian Pumps 'Samaritaine' near the center refers to the Pompe de la Samaritaine, a large water wheel built along the Seine at the Pont Neuf to provide water to the fountains and royal palaces nearby. It was originally completed in 1608 (at the request of Henry IV) and elaborated several times, including a significant upgrade in 1712, becoming a major source of water in the central part of the city. A similar pump was built on the Pont Notre-Dame in 1676 and was likewise an important feature in the city's water system. Both pumps can be seen alongside their respective bridges in the famous, monumental 1739 Turgot map of Paris (also sold by us, Paris-turgot-1739-2). Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Nicholas de Fer in 1716 for his Atlas Curieux . It also appeared in some printings of his similar, contemporary work Beautés de.

Very good. Size 20 x 24 Inches. This is the scarce 1739 Homann Heirs edition of the seminal Jean Delagrive map of Paris, France, and its environs. It illustrates Paris under the reign of King Louis XV, at its peak as a center of Enlightenment thought, with Parisian intellectuals, philosophers, and artists shaping the cultural and political discourse of Europe. A Closer Look Centered on Île de la Cité, coverage embraces what is today greater Paris, extending from the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes and from Clichy (Clichy) to Gentil. The Seine winds laterally through the center of the map. Within Paris, streets are illustrated, if not named, and a numerical system, corresponding to a table at top center, names 63 significant locations. Sources The map is sourced from the 1730 central sheet of Delagrive's 9-section map of Paris and environs, Environs de Paris, leves geometriquement (Rumsey 10255.000), a landmark production measuring 178 x 252 cm, considered the definitive map of the environs of Paris of its age (first published as a full set of 9 sheets in 1740). This great map is comparable in significance and size to the epic 1739 Turgot/Bretez map of Paris, on which Delagrive collaborated as Official Geographer. The central sheet for Delagrive's great map was published in 1730, a full 10 years before the remaining 8 sheets were engraved and published. Publication History and Census This map was designed by Jean Delagrive in 1730 and published by Homan Heirs in 1739. Like many Homann maps, this was a separate issue and not included in any standard atlas; instead, it was sold separately and included in some deluxe and composite atlases. It is thus rare to the market if well represented institutionally. References: OCLC 1224520568. c.f. Rumsey 10255.000.
