A 1779 guidebook to Paris by Edme Béguillet, published in Paris and Dijon, describing the city's historic buildings and monuments for readers interested in its architecture. Its pictures are paired engravings of plazas, bridges, a statue and façades, drawn with fine line, clear perspective and small figures, useful to a designer as examples of eighteenth-century urban views and civic layout.
