About the Item
In the realm of cartography, maps serve as both practical tools and artistic representations, encapsulating the essence of a place at a specific moment in time. The 1848 vintage map, "Plan de Paris et ses Fortifications," co-authored by Auguste Logerot, Maillard, and architect Alvar Toussaint, offers an intricate and enlightening view of Paris in the 19th century. This remarkable map is not just a geographical reference but a historical treasure that provides a deep insight into the city's layout, architectural landmarks, and formidable fortifications during a period of significant transformation.
The 1848 "Plan de Paris et ses Fortifications" is the result of a collaborative effort between Auguste Logerot, the renowned French engraver, Maillard, the skilled geographer, and Alvar Toussaint, a distinguished architect. Their combined expertise produced a cartographic masterpiece that remains a valuable historical document.
In 1848, Paris was a city on the brink of significant change. The 19th century marked a period of urban expansion and modernization, and this vintage map showcases the city's architectural diversity, including grand boulevards, intricate streets, and significant fortifications. It's important to note that the map features two key fortification walls: the Wall of the Farmers-General, constructed in 1790, and the Thiers Wall. The latter, named after the statesman Adolphe Thiers, was built between 1841 and 1844 at the request of King Louis-Philippe. Its purpose was to encircle the capital with a bastioned wall, rendering the city impregnable. Comprising 94 bastions, this wall not only encompassed Paris but also neighboring municipalities like Montmartre, La Villette, Belleville, Charonne, Bercy, Auteuil, Passy, and others. Surrounding this wall, 16 detached forts were constructed, each of which is meticulously represented on the map, including the forts of Charenton, Ivry, Bicêtre, Montrouge, Nogent, Rosny, and more.
The "Plan de Paris et ses Fortifications" is a piece of history preserved through cartography. It provides an invaluable visual journey through Paris's past, depicting an era of transition and urban expansion. Maillard, Alvar Toussaint, and Auguste Logerot's map is a testament to the power of cartography as a means of preserving the history and transformation of one of the world's most iconic cities. It stands as a testament to the ambition of the city's leadership, reflected in the impressive fortifications and infrastructure projects that shaped Paris in the 19th century.
Map - Geography - France
Published by Auguste Logerot - Plan Mural de Paris divided into 12 arrondissements, designed by the geographer Maillard and the architect Alvar Toussaint. It is adorned with vignettes appearing monuments of the city and the suburbs, and accompanied by an alphabetical table of the streets.
The plane is the two surrounding walls of the city, the wall of farmers general, built in 1790, and the enclosure of Thiers. The enclosure of Thiers, named after the politician who conceived the project, was built between 1841 and 1844, at the request of Louis-Philippe, who wished to build around the capital a bastioned enclosure which would make the city impregnable.
Made up of 94 bastions, it included not only Paris but also the surrounding municipalities: Montmartre, La Villette, Belleville, Charonne, Bercy, Auteuil, Passy, etc. All around this enclosure, we built 16 forts detached, all appearing on our plan (forts of Charenton, Ivry, Bicêtre, Montrouge, Nogent, Rosny, etc.).
