Turgot, who held the mayor-like office of Prévôt des Marchands de Paris , commissioned Louis Bretez and Claude Lucas to produce this map in 1734. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris-maltebrun-1828"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/Paris-maltebrun-1828-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is an uncommon example of the 1828 view of Paris, drawn by W.
