A large uncoloured city plan of early 18th century Paris published by the Amsterdam firm of Covens & Mortier in their “Atlas Nouveau..” ca 1735. Based on the work of De L’Isle and first published ca 1720, this detailed, finely engraved bird’s eye view of the city shows its important buildings, streets and faubourgs (suburbs or districts outside the city walls). Among the important landmarks on the map are Notre Dame, the Louvre, Place de Louis le Grand (later renamed Place Vendôme), Tuileries Gardens and Hotel des Invalides. At the bottom left there is a key identifying 23 important sites and at the bottom right there is a scale of distance measures surmounted by the royal coat of arms of the Dauphin of France. A fine example of this uncommon map on heavy, stable paper in excellent condition. 56 cm x 75 cm
