[Wyld, James, 1812-1887, Delarochette, Louis Stanislas d'Arcy]
Note
This is the James Wyld reissue of William Faden's original 1807 edition of this map (see our 6388.000), updated in some areas showing the new railroads as of about 1860, hence the date estimated at 1860 - there is no date on the map. A huge map comprising 8 printed sheets, here assembled into four large dissected sheets. This was probably the final edition. Faden had issued a second and possibly third edition before Wyld took over the Faden map business in 1823. Six different scales provided. A compilation based on many reputable sources, as itemized on the South East sheet. Relief shown in hachures.

Note
"In 1734 Michel-Etienne Turgot, chief of the municipality of Paris as provost of merchants, decided to promote the reputation of Paris for Parisian, provincial or foreign elites by implementing a new map of the city. He asked Louis Bretez, member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and professor of perspective, to draw up the plan of Paris and its suburbs. By contract, Turgot requested a very faithful reproduction with great accuracy. Louis Bretez, was allowed to enter into the mansions, houses and gardens in order to take measurements and draw pictures. He worked for two years (1734-1736). In the eighteenth century, the trend was to abandon portraits of cities (inherited from the Renaissance) for a geometric plan, more technical and mathematical. But the plan de Turgot goes against this trend, by choosing the system of perspective cavaliere: two buildings of the same size are represented by two drawings of the same size, whether the buildings are close or distant. In 1736, Claude Lucas, engraver of the Royal Academy of Sciences, created the 21 sheets of the plan. The plan was published in 1739, and the prints were bound in volumes offered to the King, the members of the Academy, and the Municipality. Additional copies were to serve as representations of France to foreigners. The 21 engraved brass plates are kept by the Chalcography of the Louvre, where they are even now used for re-printing employing the same techniques as two centuries ago." (Wikipedia). This copy was printed from the original plates in approximately 1860.
