Sobre este artículo
Paris, 1739. Folio. Fine folding engraved key map, and 20 double-page engraved sheets that combine to make one exceptionally large plan of Paris. Full marbled calf, spine with raised bands, gilt lace around the covers with the gilt arms of the city of Paris in their center (fresh contemporary binding). Beautiful copy, perfectly preserved and complete, of one of the most famous and spectacular graphic representations of the city of Paris. It was made between 1734 and 1739 by Louis Bretez at the request of Michel Etienne Turgot (1690-1751), provost of the merchants of the capital. In his functions, Turgot took care of cleaning up and embellishing Paris, had a huge sewer built on the right bank of the Seine, widened and extended the Quai de l'Horloge, endeavored to make reign the abundance in the years of scarcity and rendered the greatest services (see Larousse).
