Specialist Notes

Facsimile edition of the rare plan of Paris by Truschet and Hoyau, called "Plan de Bale" (AA 124), preserved at the Public Library of the University of Basel. Created in 1553 by Corrozet with the help of two artists from rue Montorgueil in Paris, the designer Olivier Truschet and the engraver Germain Hoyau, who had joined forces to produce large-format images for hanging. A largely unpublished representation of Paris, with architectural and urban planning elements currently no longer present, and therefore a UNIQUE testimony of Renaissance Paris.
