Finely colored example of this detailed plan of Paris, published by Jean Lattre in 1775.
Includes an ornate cartouche and highly detailed plan, naming streets, buildings, churches, bridges, parks, and a host of other details.
This is apparently an early edition of Lattre's plan of Paris. To date, we have located an example published in 1774, but none earlier.
Jean Lattré (fl. 1743-1793) was a Parisian bookseller and engraver who published many maps, plans, globes, and atlases. He worked closely with other important French cartographers, including Janvier, Bonne, and Delamarche, as well as other European mapmakers, such as William Faden, Santini, and Zannoni. Lattré is also interesting due to his propensity to bring suits against those who copied his work; plagiarism was common practice in eighteenth-century cartography and mapmakers struggled to maintain proprietary maps and information.
