Parys, wie solche 1620, im Wessen gelanden (1620) Westward facing 1620 panoramic engraving details Paris during the reign King Louis XIII (1601-1610-1643) You can clearly see the cathedral of Nôtre Dame on Île de la Cité as well as windmills in the areas of Belleville and Montmartre to the north of the city (left side of the map). In the foreground, the Palais du Louvre sits centered with one side of its galleries completed along the river Seine. This wing of the palace leads to the now demolished Tuileries Palace that used to overlook the gardens depicted at the bottom of the map. Originally published in Frankfurt, this edition hails from the first Dutch language publication of French geography in the 1660s. / Image: David Rumsey Collection © 2000 by Cartography Associates

Huitième plan de Paris divisé en ses vingts quartiers (1705) The French King Louis XIV had long had abandoned Paris as the traditional home of the monarch in favor of his father's hunting lodge a day's ride from the capital. This 1705 map of Paris is the last of a multi-volume publication Traité de la police (1707-1738) written by Paris Police Commissioner Nicolas de la Mare (1639-1723) where he also catalogued new police methods used to quell riots in the city. Even though historians have noted inaccuracies within the maps created for Traité de la police, this eight-map series shows the growth of Paris from the Roman era. / Image courtesy of Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division.

Carte des environs de Paris (1785) Completed prior to the French Revolution, this map shows the city limits of "Old Paris" as well as key features that would become encircled by Napoleon III in the next century. Look to the west of Paris to see the Bois de Boulogne that Baron Haussmann would expand and improve to create a public park for the capital akin to London's Hyde Park, which he greatly admired. At the bottom left corner, the town of Chartres boasts a cathedral that is the best example of medieval gothic architecture in Europe to this day. / Digital image courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program.

This is one of the many maps published by the British based Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (1826-1848) whose aim was to provide information to the working and middle classes. Here we have a detailed map of Paris representing the era of the July Monarchy (1830-1848). Constitutional monarch Louis-Philippe ruled during the 1832 cholera outbreak when Paris lost 20,000 out of 650,000 inhabitants within the capital. A second epidemic would hit France in 1849, just after the revolution of 1848 and the establishment of the Second Republic. / Image courtesy of Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division.

This is an interesting piece because it was originally drawn by Henry-Charles Emmery (1789-1842) in 1833 after the cholera epidemic in France. This map was revisted twice, using additional plans from 1837 and then finally 1852 at the begining of Napoleon III's reign and Haussmann's appointment to spearhead the transformation of Paris. / Image courtesy of David Rumsey Collection © 2000 by Cartography Associates

Paris instantané : plan à aiguille (1865) A detailed tourist guide and map in anticipation of the Paris Exposition universelle d'art et d'industrie de 1867. Here you can see many of the changes implemented by Napoleon III and Haussmann in time for the second exposition hosted by the Emperor to show off the modernization of his capital city. The Louvre galleries are completed and connect to the Tuileries Palace along the expaned rue de Rivoli with its covered pedestrain arcades, new modern hotel and department stores. The 1867 Exposition ran from April - November and the main site is featured next to the École Militaire. The Arc de Triomphe sits centered at Place de l'Étoile with its twelve spokes radiating outwards into the city. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées flows directly from the Arc de Triomphe with a clear line to Place de la Concorde, the Jardin des Tuileries and Napoleon III's home at the Tuileries Palace. / Digital image courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program.

Rue de Rivoli at the time of the Pairs Exposition Universelle which ran from May to November of 1855. This street was the first project under Haussmann after appointed Prefect of the Seine by Emperor Napoleon III. With sweeping powers to implement construction plans, and only reporting directly to Napeleon himself, Haussmann was able to fund, demolish 800 houses and rebuild this major two mile artery running east-west across the capital city in a short amount of time at an estimated cost of 120 million francs.

The Emperor's Kiosk (1857) created by Gabriel Davioud as the first structure in the Bois de Boulogne which was a park gifted by Napoleon III to the city of Paris in 1852. Davioud was an important architect, who worked closely with Haussmann, designing all of the Parisian "street furniture" such as kiosks, lamps, benches, fences, monuments, the fountain at Place Saint-Michel and the Théâtre de la Ville, to name a few. This 1858 photograph is by Charles Marville, hired by Haussmann to document the city's transformation.

Most of his photographs were first published by Berenice Abbott after his death. Though he sold his work to artists and craftspeople, and became an inspiration for the surrealists, he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive. / Text: Wikipedia / Image: Sakurako and William Fisher Collection
