Paris Framed A bit of a crypticThe Environs of Paris A fine map for the city and its environs, out through the countryside. It's a great image for the mid 19th century city of lights, when it was much smaller and contained neatly by the city walls. Notes towns and roads, as well as gardens and farms. Wonderfully detailed. Condition is good some close marginal repairs. Image size is approximately 12. 75 x 15. 5 (inches)
