About the Item
Antique Map of Paris and Environs by Gall and Inglis, 1843
This finely detailed map titled "Gall
Inglis’ Plan of Paris and Environs" was published in 1843 and provides a fascinating glimpse of mid-19th century Paris, just before the transformative urban renovations initiated by Baron Haussmann. Engraved with great precision and hand-colored to delineate the city’s administrative divisions, the map captures the dense, historic layout of central Paris before the sweeping modernization of boulevards, parks, and public buildings that would follow in the decades to come.
The map covers the full extent of the city as it was defined in the early 1840s, with major streets, landmarks, bridges, parks, and individual buildings clearly rendered. District boundaries are highlighted with original hand coloring, while the River Seine flows prominently through the heart of the city. Key sites such as the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens, Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and the Champs-Élysées are labeled. Surrounding areas, including Montmartre, Passy, Chaillot, and Charonne, are shown in less detail but included in the city’s broader context.
Two inset maps provide additional context: one in the lower left shows the 'departments surrounding Paris', while another in the upper right offers a broader map of Paris and its surrounding region, giving insight into the city’s connections with major transport and postal routes.
The publisher, Gall and Inglis, was a respected Edinburgh and London-based firm active in the 19th century, known for producing atlases, maps, and guides with both educational and practical travel use. Their Paris plan combines both cartographic accuracy and aesthetic appeal, with a clean yet elegant decorative border framing the composition.
Condition:
The map is in fair condition for its age. Original folds are present, and there is minor toning and wear along the edges, including a small tear in the upper right margin that does not affect the printed area. Light foxing is visible in some places, mostly confined to the margins. The hand coloring remains clear and attractive, with no loss of detail.
Framing suggestion:
This map would be ideally presented in a slim, black or dark walnut wood frame, with a neutral or light ivory archival mat. A slightly larger mat border will help showcase the decorative outer frame of the map. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve both the colors and paper from further age-related wear. This is an excellent historical piece for lovers of Paris, 19th-century urban history, or antique cartography.
