    A practical and promotional guide captures Paris on the eve of the Exposition Universelle and during Haussmann’s first phase of urban transformation, arranged by arrondissement with historical notices on churches, monuments, and civic buildings.

    The final section serves as a guide indicateur for buyers, supplying foreign visitors with the names, trades, and addresses of leading Parisian manufacturers and commercial houses.
