Rather than representing contemporary Paris of the early eighteenth century, the map serves as a historical visualization, illustrating the medieval urban form at a time when the city was consolidating its political and cultural importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"988\"\u003eThe composition is typically centered on the Seine River, which divides the city into its traditional sectors: the Île de la Cité, the Right Bank, and the Left Bank. The island at the center functions as the historic core, featuring key institutions such as the royal palace and cathedral. Surrounding this nucleus, the urban fabric extends outward in a dense network of narrow streets and closely packed buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eA defining feature of the map is the system of fortifications associated with the reign of Charles V. The city walls, punctuated by gates and towers, enclose a significantly expanded urban area compared to earlier medieval periods. These defenses reflect both the strategic concerns of the time and the growth of Paris as a major European city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eNumerous churches, monasteries, and civic buildings are depicted, their spires rising above the clustered rooftops and marking centers of religious and social life. Open spaces, gardens, and undeveloped lands appear toward the edges, indicating areas of transition between urban and rural zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eStylistically, the map blends historical interpretation with early modern engraving techniques. Decorative cartouches and inscriptions provide context, while the layout emphasizes clarity and narrative structure over strict geographic accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintsXXL","offers":[{"title":"canvas \/ 23''x28''(58x70)","offer_id":52784773660938,"sku":"195354","price":64.26,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 27''x32''(68x82)","offer_id":52784773693706,"sku":"195354","price":72.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 31''x37''(78x95)","offer_id":52784773726474,"sku":"195354","price":96.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 35''x42''(88x106)","offer_id":52784773759242,"sku":"195354","price":115.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 39''x46''(98x118)","offer_id":52784773792010,"sku":"195354","price":122.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 41''x50''(104x126)","offer_id":52784773824778,"sku":"195354","price":135.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 49''x59''(124x150)","offer_id":52784773857546,"sku":"195354","price":159.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 54''x66''(138x167)","offer_id":52784773890314,"sku":"195354","price":190.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 59''x71''(149x180)","offer_id":52784773923082,"sku":"195354","price":217.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 16''x19''(40x49)","offer_id":52784773955850,"sku":"195354","price":53.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 19''x23''(48x59)","offer_id":52784773988618,"sku":"195354","price":57.12,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 23''x28''(58x70)","offer_id":52784774021386,"sku":"195354","price":63.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 27''x32''(68x82)","offer_id":52784774054154,"sku":"195354","price":69.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 31''x37''(78x95)","offer_id":52784774086922,"sku":"195354","price":91.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 35''x42''(88x106)","offer_id":52784774119690,"sku":"195354","price":107.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 39''x46''(98x118)","offer_id":52784774152458,"sku":"195354","price":111.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 41''x50''(104x126)","offer_id":52784774185226,"sku":"195354","price":123.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 49''x59''(124x150)","offer_id":52784774217994,"sku":"195354","price":140.42,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 54''x66''(138x167)","offer_id":52784774250762,"sku":"195354","price":166.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 59''x71''(149x180)","offer_id":52784774283530,"sku":"195354","price":189.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 16''x19''(40x49)","offer_id":52784774316298,"sku":"195354","price":49.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 19''x23''(48x59)","offer_id":52784774349066,"sku":"195354","price":53.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 23''x28''(58x70)","offer_id":52784774381834,"sku":"195354","price":59.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 27''x32''(68x82)","offer_id":52784774414602,"sku":"195354","price":65.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 31''x37''(78x95)","offer_id":52784774447370,"sku":"195354","price":88.06,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 35''x42''(88x106)","offer_id":52784774480138,"sku":"195354","price":103.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 39''x46''(98x118)","offer_id":52784774512906,"sku":"195354","price":108.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 41''x50''(104x126)","offer_id":52784774545674,"sku":"195354","price":120.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 49''x59''(124x150)","offer_id":52784774578442,"sku":"195354","price":136.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 54''x66''(138x167)","offer_id":52784774611210,"sku":"195354","price":163.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 59''x71''(149x180)","offer_id":52784774643978,"sku":"195354","price":185.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9656\/3466\/files\/195354.jpg?v=1774727195","url":"https:\/\/printsxxl.com\/fr\/products\/antique-map-of-medieval-paris-1705","provider":"PrintsXXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
