Paris | Panorama Map | 1739 | Vintage Map

The Turgot map is a highly detailed depiction of the city of Paris, created between 1734 and 1736 at the suggestion of Michel-Étienne Turgot (1690–1751), who served as the Provost of the Merchants of Paris from 1729 to 1740. Turgot’s plan of Paris was published as an atlas in 1739. The twenty plates in total show the French capital in non-overlapping isometric views looking toward the southeast. The Turgot map has a scale of approximately 1:400, with each individual map section measuring 80 x 50 cm. The buildings, streets, squares, as well as the city's gardens and parks are visible in a faithful reproduction. Reproductions of the 20 plates are available assembled as a single image in various sizes. The final image shows the layout of the large map divided into the 20 map sheets.

Historical maps show traces of age and use, the intensity and nature of which vary depending on the map and its intended purpose. The print offered is a reproduction.
