Description
Topographical plan of Rome printed by the Librairie Hachette in Paris based on Augustus Thiollet's 1865 plan.
In this plan the blocks are fielded in pink and the churches in black. It is a reprint of the Chapman & Hall plan with some slight changes to both the new buildings (see Via Nazionale) and the interior captions (in particular, the wording has been changed from Palazzo Pontificio to Palazzo Reale al Quirinale which indicates a post-1870 date). Since Via Nazionale is traced to Via del Quirinale the Scaccia Scarafoni proposes a date of about 1872, the 84 legend numbers are in French. (cf. Marigliani, Le Piante di Roma nelle collezioni private, p. 427).
Chromolithography, usual editorial printing creases, small restored tear in upper left corner, otherwise in very good condition.

Hachette is a French publishing group. Founded in 1826 by Louis Hachette, it is part of the Lagardère Group, which acquired it in 1981. It is the world's third-largest publisher in consumer and educational publishing, the first in France and the second in Spain.
The publishing business began in 1826, when Louis Hachette bought the Brédif bookstore in Paris, which he renamed the Hachette bookstore. By 1864 he was already the first European publisher, specializing in school books, academic texts and travel guides. By 1896 Hachette had a network of 1,200 bookstores in French railway stations and operated a huge distribution network (of both books and newspapers and periodicals) under the brand name Messaggeries Hachette.
