DescriptionAtlas du plan général de la ville de Paris - Sheet 62 - David Rumsey.jpg |
English: Relief shown pictorially. "Dessiné et gravé par les cens. P.T. Bartholomé et A.J. Mathieu. Ecrit par Bellanger." Includes detailed index: "Table par ordre alphabétique des rues, cus-de-sacs, halles, marchés ..."- Sheets 49-50, 57-58, 65-67. Includes table of distances of the principal monuments used for the survey on which this map is based, and "Plan des opérations trigonometriques de la ville de Paris" which shows the survey lines, pl. 70-71. "Verniquet" signature stamped on verso of several leaves. The title page (not issued with most copies) includes a map of the city in 9 colors representing the growth of Paris in various epochs. This large Paris plan, divided into 72 parts, also contains, in the engraving, a "Table in alphabetical order of the Streets, Cul - de - sac, Passages, Places, Ports, Halles, ..." Points of station on different monuments and the Plan of the trigonometric operations of the city of Paris. The plan is published in the 1 / 1800th and represents the pre - revolutionary Parisian public streets and buildings. It is the first accurate mapping of Paris geometrically established and with a mathematically exact view of the capital, it will serve as a topographical background for most of the other plans made in the 19th century. Joseph Lalande, director of the Observatory, praises Verniquet's plan in these terms: "This plan, the work of which I have followed and admired for its accuracy, seems to me the most perfect work which has ever been executed in this way and is the only one which offers a mathematically exact view of the capital." The work of Verniquet was considerable - he built in a number of provinces of France, and especially in Burgundy, a great number of factories, bridges, roads and buildings remarkable for art, and solidity. Around 1774 he went to settle in Paris, where he executed his principal work, the plan of that city and its suburbs... An immense labor which occupied him for twenty-eight years, mostly at night because of street difficulties during the day, and for which he employed up to sixty engineers and more than eighty aides on horseback. |
