Old Map of Paris, France by Delamarche in 1797 - Louvre, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, Seine, Revolution, Invalides Size:12x18in (30x45cm) This map was originally dissectedAn achingly beautiful old map of Paris, published by Charles Francois Delamarche in 1797 an interesting time for Paris, as really only the oldest inner city parts have been built up.
