Description

A detailed prospect of Paris from the north, with a 56-point key in French. The Hospital St. Louis is in the foreground, the Bastille on the left edge and St. Lazare on the right. Both Notre Dame and the Louvre are clearly visible in the city. Merian is depicted sketching the city: an inscription on the rock to his left states he drew this view from life.
