Dept. de la Seine.

This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of Seine. Focusing on Paris, this map covers from the Foret de St. Germain to the Bois Notre Dame and from Versailles to Chelles. Shows the city walls as well as the ring of fortifications completed in 1848. The embastillement of Paris was perhaps the most extravagant waste of resources of the July Monarchy. The whole is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate the cultural wealth of the region. There is a short textual history of Seine on both the left and right sides of the map. Published by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.
