This remarkable bird's-eye view of Paris filled "with its best hotels restaurants and shows" was published as an advertising vehicle by Grand Marnier Liquor. The view renders the city center with a unique three-dimensional perspective including all the "must see" tourist destinations including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, Royal Palace, Notre Dame, Pantheon, and many more. A color-coded key at top left further identifies spots for the weary traveler including hotels, restaurants, cabarets, and night clubs in red and blue overprinting. Decorated by a scroll title cartouche featuring a coat of arms at bottom left. Drawn by G. Peltier and copyrighted by Blondel la Rougery. Folds into stiff glossy wrappers with English text and index (4.6 x 10.2").
