About This Item
Paris, c.1785. Excellent, wide margins. Notes: A fine early plan of Warsaw, is based upon the 4-sheet plan of Warsaw by Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille, entitled Plan de la ville de Varsovie, first published in 1762 and Antonio Rizzi-Zannoni's single sheet version of the map, published in 1772.
Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille, a French Architect and Engineer worked in Warsaw as a surveyor and as an army engineer. Crown Marchal Bielinski commissioned Tirregaille to prepare a detailed plan of the city of Warsaw, which resulted in the first map of Warsaw, based upon a scientific survey.
Rizzi-Zannoni's plan, published in 1772, of which we have an example coincided with the efforts of Polish Nobles to enlist the assistance of French "democracy" experts in Paris, including Rosseau and Malby, to help restructure the Polish "Republic" on the eve of the first partition.
