This depiction of Paris on a north-south axis was initially completed by traveler and cartographer Albert Jouvin de Rochefort, one he first created in intricately hand-colored detail in the 17th century. You can even see the Luxembourg Palace (Palais d’Orleans) and the Louvre.
His original was later discovered amongst a collection once owned by the Duke of Choiseul, Foreign Minister of France under Louis XV. This one is a reprint of the procured original.
