Third edition. One of the great references on the history of Paris by one of the masters of French historiography of the Ancien Régime. The 25 maps from this work are used by Jaillot to make both his large map of the city in 1777 (see our 12431.103) and his atlas of the city in 30 sheets in 1778 (see our 10792.000). The maps were literally cut up by Jaillot and assembled as paper collages to make both these derivative works. The maps are based on and expand from the work of Delagrive (see our 10172.000). The relation between these three publications and the process involved is detailed in Boutier 302. Maps dated 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775.
