Turgot's Plan of Paris

Detail showing part of the Ile de la Cité looking east from Pont Neuf from Michel Turgot's plan of Paris, 1734. Southworth notes: "Buildings are shown in axonometric projections, with correct detail and orientation. Streets, however, are widened so that they don't disappear between buildings." See Le Plan de Paris de Louis Bretez dit Plan de Turgot, présenté et commenté par Bernard Rouleau, Nördlingen: Verlag Dr. Alfons Uhl, 1989 for a complete reproduction of this magnificent map.
