Old illustration by "Louis Bombled" printed in the encyclopaedia "Histoire de France Illustrée" by the editor Larousse between the late 19th century (1871) and the begin of the 20th century (1910). It depicts François 1er laying the foundation stone of the Paris City Hall on July 15, 1533. None of the volume 1 or 2 of this encyclopaedia are dated which is common during this period, however, all the prints and texts remain unchanged since first edition (1871).
