Vintage Framed Copper Etched Plaque – Paris en l'année 1642
Beautiful vintage copper etched wall plaque featuring a detailed panoramic view of Paris as it appeared in the year 1642. The artwork reproduces one of the classic historical bird's-eye maps of the city, complete with numbered landmarks, period French inscriptions, and the city's coat of arms.
The design is chemically etched into a solid copper sheet, creating striking black engraved details against the warm copper background. The plaque is mounted in a quality hardwood frame with a burlap-covered backing and metal hanging brackets, ready for display.
Produced as a decorative art piece during the 1970s (approximately 1965–1985), this framed copper engraving is ideal for collectors of Paris memorabilia, historical maps, vintage wall décor, or copper artwork.
