Published by Garnier Frères, Éditeurs Libraires, this charming early 20th-century map offers both a monumental city plan of Paris and a pictorial map of its surrounding regions.

The Paris view is rendered in a warm blush tone with finely engraved architectural vignettes highlighting landmarks such as:
• The Arc de Triomphe
• The Opéra
• The Madeleine
• The Louvre
• Les Invalides
• The Tuileries
• The Eiffel Tower

The reverse illustrates the broader environs of Paris with detailed drawings of cathedrals, châteaux, and historic towns — including Versailles, Chartres, Fontainebleau, and more.

A wonderful decorative and collectible example of French cartographic design. See less
