This is the only known example of Nöel Cochin and Nicolas Berey's 1660 view of Paris - the earliest known large-format view of Paris published in Paris (an earlier large view was issued in Amsterdam). This view is likely a proof state or perhaps a study for a larger view of the same issued two years later in 1662 (c.f. Boutier #105). (more details)

This is Louis Bretez and Michel-Etienne Turgot's monumental 1739 map of Paris, in a beautiful, bound example. Turgot's map of Paris - possibly the most ambitious urban mapping ever undertaken - shows the whole of 18th century Paris, offering an unparalleled view of the city prior to the 19th century redesign by Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann: every structure within the city at the time is here depicted. Turgot, who held the mayor-like office of Prevôt des Marchands de Paris , commissioned Louis Bretez and Claude Lucas to produce this map. Oriented to the east on an axonometric projection, this map is best understood as an aerial view in which every building, window, tree, shadow, and park are shown from an equidistant aerial perspective. In order to produce the thousands of sketches and surveys required to complete this map, Bretez was issued a permit to enter every building in Paris. It took the team nearly five years of exhaustive sketching and surveying to assemble this masterpiece. (more details)

This vibrant, likely Joseph Pinchon, watercolor map of Paris, c. 1931-38, highlights the city's Interwar shopping, bar, theater, and café life. The artist's confident hand reveals Paris as a dynamic crucible of creativity and commerce during the luminous interval before the dark years of World War II. While the piece is unattributed, there is strong anecdotal evidence that is the work came from the Huguette Marcelle Clark (1906 - 2011) collection and is by one of the major French artists she patronized: Joseph Porphyre Pinchon (1871 - 1953), Jean Mercier, or Chéri Hérouard, Pinchon being the most likely candidate.

This is the c. 1900 Taride edition of Louis Bretez and Michel-Etienne Turgot's monumental 1739 map of Paris. Turgot's map of Paris is possibly the most ambitious urban mapping ever undertaken.

In this engagement, the enormous Enceinte de Thiers (Thiers Wall), constructed at extraordinary expense and believed to be impregnable, proved little more than a king's folly. (more details)

This is a 1655 Caspar Merian view of Paris, France - a superbly executed view showing that in artistry, Caspar was indeed his father's son. The view is oriented to the west-south-west, from a perspective both farther from the city and more to the east than the elder Merian's 1638 view. Rather than border the view with stylized or fanciful floral decoration, Caspar Merian has - following the lead of his father - chosen to frame the panorama in realistic semi-wild trees and bracken akin to that of the hillside from which the view was drawn, which has the effect of emphasizing that it was drawn from life.
