Description
Rare early map of Mexico City, pubished in Mexico
Attractive early plan of Mexico City, with a key locating over 100 points of interest.
The map was issued during the second French Empire.
In 1862, French Emperor Napoleon III maneuvered to establish a French client state in Mexico, and eventually installed Maximilian of Habsburg, Archduke of Austria, as Emperor of Mexico. Stiff Mexican resistance caused Napoleon III to order French withdrawal in 1867, a decision strongly encouraged by a United States recovered from its Civil War weakness in foreign affairs.
