Old PARIS Map, 1572 by Georg Braun - Notre Dame, Bastille, Seine

This superb map of 16th century Paris was created by the renowned mapmakers Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. From the first of six volumes they completed called the Civititas Orbis Terrarum this work was the first full map of Paris which it captures in stunning detail.

Paris began as a small settlement on an island in the Seine, named Lutetia, by the Gallii Parisii. This island, seen at the centre of the map, controlled the trade in the region both along the river and via the north-south roads crossing the island. Paris grew through successive periods, with walls, citadels, and forts added through a series of expansions. The Bastille is shown at the upper centre of the engraving and the Cathedral of Notre Dame is on the eastern end of on the island.

This is a much sought after work and is sure to set a stunning focal point in any room.
