Very good. Some fold wear. A few discoloration in the westernmost panel near the Seine. Dissected and laid down on linen in 24 panels. Original linen stable. Size 58.5 x 68.5 Inches. This is a spectacular 1777 large-scale map of Paris by Louis-François Deharme, published by Louis Charles Desnos. The map captures Paris during the reign of Louis XV, a period of growing unrest and inter-class resentment that would ultimately culminate in the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). A Closer Look The map divides Paris into 20 quartiers , keyed and identified in the lower left. The massive scale allows for a wealth of detail, both via a coding system and directly on the map itself. Letter and symbol coding identifies abbeys, barriers, fountains, passages, mailboxes, messenger services, and roulier stations (freight depots). Streets throughout are named, typically via text directly on the map. The outlines of major structures, specifically churches, gardens, palaces, and administrative buildings, give the map a nearly three-dimensional quality. The map was printed to some 35 sheets, which here have been joined, then dissected and laid down on linen. The map is not new survey work; rather, Deharme based the maps on the 1728 survey of Lazarite priest Jean Delagrive. That is not to say it is out of date; the map was revised and updated by Deharme to conform to Paris' most recent urban developments. Deharme's reconsideration of Delagrive's work was significant enough for the first issue of this map to earn him the coveted position of Topograph du Roi . Likewise, the present 1777 example was extensively revised by Desnos, particularly regarding developments northwest of the Chemin du Rempart, near the Arsenal promenade, south of the École Militare, and in the Porcherons. Publication History and Census This map was first issued from Deharme's survey in 1762. The decorative cartouche was drawn and engraved by Charles Monnet. The lettering is the work of Petit. Louis Charles Desnos took over printing in 1768, and issued this edition in 1777. Jean Boutier identifies 10 states of this important map, ranging from the first issue in 1762 to a final state in 1795, an extended print run that underscores this map's enduring significance and relevancy. In its various states, this map is well represented institutionally, but we see only one example in OCLC of the 1777 edition, located at the Newberry Library.
