Sébastien Munster (1550-1575)
Plan of Paris engraved on wood in 1549
Beautiful colors
One of the very first engraved representation of Paris.
On this plan we can see Philippe Auguste enclosure, demolished between 1529 and 1535, the Tour Billy, destroyed by lightning in 1538, and the Collegium Regium founded by François Ier (Cf. Jean Boutier, les Plans de Paris)
