historical maps of Paris from the Getty collection

The Getty Museum archives has made available a collection of historical maps of Paris.

MAPS OF PARIS, 1754–1907

The 152 maps of Paris and environs in this collection date from the mid-eighteenth to the early-twentieth centuries, covering the period during which Paris was transformed from a largely medieval city into a modern metropolis under Napoléon Bonaparte and Napoléon III. The maps document the division of the city, first into twelve arrondissements, and later as it grew into twenty arrondissements, and traces the development of its infrastructure through the building of its rail system and train stations.
