Paris - 1739 Colorised Turgot map - 55 Images Extracted from the Map

Exceptional : The famous Turgot Map of Paris, 1739, (requested by Turgot to Louis Bretez) is the last big map realised in false perspective (named "Perspective à la cavalière").

And what a map ! 20 sheets (80x50 cm). The assembled map size is 3.2 x 2.5 meter. It is always printed in black and white on the original engraved copper plates by the calchographie of the Louvres.


LACF publishing has found an antique hand colorised map and scanned it. Because of the size, it is not possible to produce an epub file. But it is so fabulous in color that we decided to extract 55 images of places, churches, monuments and bridges to show you how amazing it is !


A new color paper book will be soon available and we hope that we have convinced you to buy it to discover all the marvelous details of the Turgot Paris map (1739).
