Description
Immerse yourself in the heart of Paris during the Grand Siècle under the reign of Louis XIV with this exceptional reissue of the famous “Plan of Paris,” surveyed by order of the King and under the supervision of the merchant provosts and aldermen, drawn by the architect François Bullet and completed in 1710. This antique geographical map of exceptional heritage value is a masterpiece of engraved cartography and a major archival document tracing the urban planning, architecture, and boundaries of the French capital at the very beginning of the 18th century.
This historic plan of Paris unfolds a survey of monumental precision oriented with the top to the west, featuring the course of the Seine, the Île de la Cité, the Île Saint-Louis, and the numerous Parisian bridges of the period. The document meticulously maps the capital's various historic neighborhoods, from the Marais to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, passing through the University, the Cité, and the faubourgs. It offers a striking cavalier perspective view of the great Parisian monuments: the Louvre Palace, the Tuileries Garden, the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Hôtel des Invalides, the Luxembourg, and the historic abbeys. The composition is sumptuously embellished in its corners with architectural engravings of the city's triumphal gates: the Porte Saint-Denis, the Porte Saint-Martin, the Porte Saint-Antoine, and the Porte Saint-Bernard, as well as a medallion featuring the effigy of the Sun King, along with inserts detailing the environs of Paris and the city's network of fountains and aqueducts.
Printed with goldsmith-like care on high-quality paper that preserves all the finesse of the original copper engraving, the details of the relief, and the authentic charm of the period monochrome, this antique reproduction is ideal for a refined and scholarly retro wall decoration. This antique map of Paris from 1710 will captivate enthusiasts of French history, architects, lovers of the City of Light, collectors of rare engravings, and all enthusiasts of Île-de-France heritage.
Creative paper
For vintage paper posters, we use a natural-toned and textured, slightly grained, 200 gsm FSC®-certified fine art paper. We chose this paper for its durability and to preserve its vintage look: it is an uncoated paper, so the colors will have an "aged" appearance that stays true to the spirit of the original card.
If you would like to get an idea of how the printed result will look, which is always different from what you see on screen, please contact us and we will be happy to help! Rest assured that we will do our utmost to respond to your request as quickly as possible!
