The Turgot Plan of Paris // Black + White
Product Description
The Turgot Plan of Paris is a monumental twenty sheet map widely considered to be one of the most impressive bird’s eye view of a city ever created. It all began in 1734, when Michel-Étienne Turgot, chief of the municipality of Paris, commissioned Michel-Étienne Turgot to create a a statement piece to be presented to foreign and domestic dignitaries to boast architecture and layout of the historic city.
In order to achieve this, Turgot was given special permission to enter private mansions, houses, and gardens to take measurements and make sketches so that the finished work would be as accurate as if viewed from the sky in a balloon. The entire process took two years of consistent work followed by the exemplary engraving talents of Claude Lucas of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
This high quality replica is printed on water-resistant fabric wallpaper backed with an easily repositionable adhesive that removes cleanly with no residue. Apply it to any flat surface in seconds for a richly detailed, vintage-inspired accent that instantly adds sophisticated style to your space.
