c.1920s
Maker: Guilmin.
Antique bus and tram map of Paris, by Guilmin, circa 1920s. Bus routes are red and tram routes are blue. A list of subway lines in the lower left includes Metropolitain and Nord-Sud. The map is not dated but it's year of publication can be estimated based on the fact that the Nord-Sud line A is complete on this map (opened 1916) but there is no suggestion of Line C. The Nord-Sud company failed at the beginning of the 1930s and was absorbed into the Metropolitain. Original printed color. Folded as issued. This map is in good overall antique condition with significant seam separations and some tears that have been archivally repaired. Should frame nicely. Toned along the fold lines. Fragile. Map unfolded measures approximately 5.25 x 6.75 inches to the paper edges.
