(The Louvre) 4e. Arrondissement. Vue Prise Au-Dessus du Pont des Arts

Great lithographed view of Paris focusing on the Louvre and showing the heart of the city in the Rive Droite. Detail is fabulous with the geometric layout of the city richly evident, and it, along with the titling that states that the view was drawn from above the Pont des Arts, suggests that the view was based on one sketched in a Montgolfiere. The area, now part of the "2nd Arrondissement," was considered as part of the 8th in the 1840s, when this lithograph was made.
