List of theatres shown on the map with dates

The map appears to show Paris as it existed sometime between 12 November 1825 (when the Théâtre-Italien moved back into the Salle Favart after performing in the Salle Louvois from 1819; see "Paris", Table 1, in New Grove Opera) and 16 March 1826 (when the Cirque Franconi on the rue du Faubourg du Temple was destroyed by fire).
