A beautiful bird's-eye etching of Paris looking along the Champs-Elysee and the Seine from the west. It is filled with meticulously engraved depictions of the Obelisk, Arc de Triomphe, Isle de la Cite, and many other points of interest. The view is populated by many figures in carriages, on horses and walking about the city. This is an uncommon engraving, and the only title that we could find for the artist.
