Historic Map : Paris France w Monuments by A. Leconte, 1928, Vintage Wall Art

This is an extremely attractive c. 1928 tourist pocket map of Paris, France. Covers the old walled city of Paris and the immediate vicinity. Important buildings are shown in profile, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre-Coeur, the Pantheon, and others. Shows both the train and Metro lines throughout the city. This map was issued in various editions from, roughly 1900 to 1937. Though most examples are undated we can assign an approximate date due to the development of the Metro system and the map's overall style and construction. Attached to original red paper booklet which is itself split at spine. A similar map of the greater Paris environs appears on the verso. Engraved by L. Poulmarie and printed by Gaston Maillet. Published by A. Leconte, of 38 Rue St. Croix de la Bretonnerie, Paris.
