750 Years in Paris by Vincent Mahé is a visual time machine."I've always been fascinated by cities—especially cities that have a long history like mine," Paris-based illustrator Vincent Mahé says. Since its founding in 3 B.C., the City of Light has experienced astronomical highs (like hosting the World Cup in 1998 when France won) and devastating lows (like, oh say, Nazi occupation during WWII).
