1845 "Nouveau Plan Illustre de la Ville de Paris" Map by A. Vuillemin
This large and detailed map of Paris was published by Alexandre Vuillemin in 1845. The map conveys a wonderful amount of information and is decorated throughout with pictorial vignettes of major buildings, bridges, trains, and monuments.
It also includes a table with an alphabetized street index, a list of suburbs with distances to Paris, population and festival days, a table listing forts surrounding Paris with distances to the center of the city, and a list of passages located throughout the city.
Alexandre Vuillemin (1812-1880) was a leading 19th century French cartographer and editor. He studied under French cartographer Auguste Dufour and set up shop in Paris. Vuillemin produced over ten different atlases during his career; many of which were so popular they went through multiple editions. His maps are noted for the frequent use of extensive margin illustrations, like vignettes, portraits of famous people, and inset birds-eye views of cities.
