“Wow! This is the second print I've purchased from Paola and couldn't be happier with the quality! It's printed on nice thick paper and the colors are really vibrant. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it. The packaging was nice as well - it came rolled up so it was protected during shipping but unrolled easily for the frame. Thank you!!”

The Story Behind the Print
This meticulously detailed city plan captures Bordeaux during the height of France's 19th-century urban transformation. Created when European cartographers were documenting rapidly changing cityscapes with unprecedented precision, this map reveals the elegant interplay between the Garonne River and the city's expanding boulevards.
The era marked Baron Haussmann's revolutionary approach to French urban planning, and while his Paris redesign is most famous, similar principles of wide streets and geometric order were reshaping cities across France. This historical cartography showcases Bordeaux's medieval core alongside its modern port infrastructure — the very waterways and districts that made it the wine capital of the world.
Every street name and architectural detail speaks to a moment when cartographers took immense pride in their craft, creating vintage map reproductions that were as much art as navigation. The result is vintage wall art that transforms any space into a portal to 19th-century France.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using museum-quality giclée printing and archival inks for lasting beauty.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
