FROM NAPOLEON'S OFFICE following his coronation in December 1804 as Empereur des Français, the imperial residence then being at St Cloud. Publisher Jacques Esnaults (1739-1812) had gone into business in 1770 with his partner Michel Rapilly (1740-?1797) as Esnault et Rapilly. One of the partnership's earliest publications was their Nouveau Plan routier de la ville et faubourgs de Paris in 1774 and the city plan was revised and reissued throughout their partnership and then under Esnaults' own imprint following Rapilly's death.

A similar map of the city of Paris, Jean's Plan routier de la ville et faubourgs de Paris divisé en douze mairies (Paris, 1809) with a note stating that it was recovered from Napoleon's desk at Malmaison by a Prussian volunteer, was offered for sale by Karl Hiersemann in the sale Napoléon I. et son temps; catalogue... composant principalement la collection H. Buhrig, Leipzig, 1913, lot 494.
