Description: 1845 Chapuy View of Paris, France WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Vue Générale de Paris. Prise de la colonne de Juillet. (Sud-Est.) Description: This is a c. 1845 Nicolas Chapuy view of Paris. The view looks west over the City of Light with the Place de la Bastille and the Colonne de Juillet in the foreground. The Canal Saint Martin crosses beneath the Place de la Bastille in the foreground, with the Rue Saint-Antoine and the Boulevard Beaumarchais leading away from the column. The Place des Vosges, the square of houses surrounding a park, can be seen just behind the Colonne de Juillet and was the first planned square in Paris. Further along the Rue Saint-Antoine, the Église Saint-Gervais is illustrated, just across the Seine from Notre Dame. The Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens are also discernable, as are Les Invalides and the Panthéon (along the left border). Numerous other churches are included throughout Paris. The bridges of the Seine are beautifully illustrated. In the distance, practically on the horizon, the recently completed Arc de Triomphe is visible, but only just.Publication History and CensusThis view was drawn by Nicolas Chapuy, lithographed by Aubrun and Jacottet, and printed by the Lemercier firm.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
