- This is the earliest existing town plan of Paris, which was created in 1847 by F. Herbst based on a survey by Thomas Allchin, the deputy provincial surveyor. The earliest town plan was prepared by Lewis Burwell, but no copies are known to exist.
The plan shows all of the land then considered to fall within the borders of Paris, and numbers each lot individually. - Inscriptions
