Rothschild: Paris 1869.<br/> <br/> Elegant plan of Paris, France, showing the city's historic parks. Folded as issued in blue paper subscription portfolio and in very good condition. Haussmann hired Alphand as chief engineer of the Bois de Boulogne, a role which soon expanded into director of the newly formed parks department (Service des Promenades et Plantations), and later into an all-around director of public works. Under Napoleon III, Alphand participated in the renovation of Paris directed by Baron Haussmann between 1852 and 1870. He created walks, parks and gardens designed to embellish and sanitize Paris. He also remodeled the Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne. A wonderful example of his work.<br/> <br/>
