Paris — Historic Pictorial Wall Map (1925)

A classic illustrated portrait of central Paris, rendered with elegance and clarity. Created by Garnier Frères, 6 Rue des Saints-Pères, this tourist map brings the heart of the city into sharp focus—Seine quays and bridges, grand boulevards, major monuments and museums, squares and gardens—all laid out in clean, legible cartography that rewards both room-distance viewing and close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a window onto interwar Paris, when guide maps distilled the city’s spirit for flâneurs and first-time visitors alike. Ideal for travel lovers, designers, educators, historians, and collectors, it stands alone beautifully and pairs perfectly with modern city plans for then-and-now comparisons.

Hang it in living rooms, libraries, studios, classrooms, cafés, or offices to invite reflection, planning, and conversation.
