The maps reproduced in this issue are
taken from the Plan de la Ville de
Paris en 1789. Prepared in 1887 at the direction of the
Municipal Council of Paris, the Plan
maps the city as it appeared in the years just before the French
Revolution. It is reproduced here in detail for greater legibility and
convenience of reference.
