About the Item
This remarkable original poster offers a snapshot of the Parisian public transportation system before 1854, capturing the intricate network of horse-drawn omnibuses that circulated throughout the capital. Titled “Tableau synoptique de la circulation des omnibus à correspondances de Paris,” it is one of the earliest known attempts to visually organize and standardize the routes of public vehicles within the rapidly expanding urban landscape of Haussmann-era Paris.
The poster presents a grid-style map of Paris, overlaid with fine green and red lines representing the omnibus routes and their interconnections. Along the edges are colorful illustrated depictions of various omnibus models, each labeled and numbered, helping passengers identify which vehicles served particular lines or destinations. The design is both functional and decorative, blending cartographic precision with early 19th-century artistic charm.
Each of the 117 interchange points is clearly marked, reflecting a system far more extensive and sophisticated than one might expect from a time before electric trams and the metro. This tableau served as a vital public information tool, allowing Parisians to navigate the growing city's transportation with clarity and ease.
