Created during the reign of Emperor Napoleon I, this 1811 map crisply details "Old Paris" before the Emperor's nephew, Napoleon III would alter the landscape of city into the modern capital we know today. The Louvre north gallery is not completed yet and Île de La Cité remains crowded, especially in front of Cathedral of Nôtre Dame. / Courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program.
