A dramatic, monumental set of 20 framed panels of the famed 1739 "Plan de Paris", after French magistrate Michel-Étienne Turgot ( French 1690-1751 ) in the French Provincial taste. Rendered in a intricate birds-eye 1:400 isometric perspective, the map captures Paris in extraordinary detail, including streets, blocks, gardens, and landmarks. The map was commissioned under Michel-Étienne Turgot, the French Magistrate and the de facto mayor of Paris, and is traditionally thought to be done by Louis Bretez, a famed cartographer, to portray pre-Haussmann Paris at full urban density in meticulous detail. The map has a neutral monochromatic palette of sepia tone on a cream background. Each reproduced print is framed in a slim black wood stepped frame behind glazed glass. Suitable for a library, entry, or a study seeking a refined cartographic statement. Displayed as a 4 by 5 grid measuring a total of approx. 80" wide and 65" high. The matte black frames are in exceptional condition with very minor wear. Sold as a set of 20 framed pieces. From an estate in Hollywood, California.
