750 Years Of Parisian History, As Told Through Architectural Illustrations

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). Architecturally speaking, there are countless landmarks that have cemented Paris's standing as one of the most beautiful cities—the Arc de Triomphe, Charles Garnier's opera house, Haussmann's grand boulevards. But for 750 Years in Paris, a forthcoming book from Nobrow Press, Mahé turns his focus on a single block in the city and charts its changes through the years, starting in 1265 and culminating in 2015.Read Full Story Continue reading at 'Fast Company'
