Guesnu, Marie-Hilaire (sold)
Marie-Hilaire Guesnu (January 10, 1820 - November 11, 1868) was a artist and engraver active in Paris during the mid-19th century. He worked with a number of contemporaneous publishers, including Auguste Logerot (fl. c. 1839 - c. 1880) and Charles Chardon (1832 - 1896). He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1842 and 1865. Cartographically he is known for two exceptionally desirable view maps of Pairs, his tourist monument map of Paris, and a view of Paris from the Bois de Boulogne. We have discovered considerable confusion regrading his dates. The most conventional dates are 1820 - 1868, but we also see 1802 - 1880, 1801 - 1868, and 1808 - 1880.
Considered one of the best Bird's-eye views of Paris.

This is the extremely rare 1865 Guesnu / Chardon bird's-eye view of Paris, France. This is the 'new' Paris, transformed by the Haussmann renovations - celebrated by many, cursed by others. This view stunningly captures the changes by exaggerating the perspective of the new avenues and grand new buildings. (more details)
