Aerial drawing print of Paris prior to 1871

Paris

This albumen print photograph is part of series, "Le Nouveau Paris," by photographer "J. D." This view looking east from above the Arc de Triomphe prior to the May 23, 1871 destruction by fire of the Tuileries Palace shows Baron Haussmann's new diagonal boulevards and roadways along the river quais, creating modern vehicular circulation in the choked medieval city. This updating of the old city was accomplished during the reign of the Second Empire, 1852-70, under Napoleon III.
