Nouveau Paris monumental : itinéraire pratique de l'étranger dans Paris / gravé par L. Poulmaire. Monuments et vues des environs de Paris, approximately 1909. Poulmaire, L., engraver. [approximately 1909] Two maps printed on a sheet of vellum paper, a bird's-eye view of Paris on recto and a vertical projection of the Paris region on verso. Undated, but view of Paris includes Metro lines in use and under construction; the latest line shown as being in use (étoile-Nation) was opened in 1909, suggesting a publication date in or about that year.
