1400 renderings of Paris architecture before Baron Haussmann (1894)

Over 1400 renderings of Paris street scenes from the late 1800s by the artist Jules Adolphe Chauvet can be seen at the Bibliotheque nationale de France. This body of work accidentally documents some of the buildings that were demolished by the urban development plans of Baron Haussmann. Description and more images from Bibliodyssey.
