Blondel La Rougery's Plan de Paris à Vol d'Oiseau (Bird's-Eye View Map of Paris), originally drafted by G. Peltier between 1920 and 1940 and subsequently updated in 1974 by André Chardon, stands as a quintessential depiction of the French capital's urban landscape. This detailed map, printed in France, captures the intricate web of Parisian streets and the sinuous flow of the Seine River, reflecting the city's architectural grandeur and historical evolution. The careful delineation of streets, squares, and the river highlights Paris's unique blend of order and beauty, an embodiment of the city's enduring allure and complexity.
Printed on two unjoined sheets (34"x51"), both sheets have been mounted and then shrink-wrapped so as to be displayed as one
all encompassing map of Paris. Condition: map itself is excellent; there are some small tears in the shrink-wrap making overall
presentation good.
