[PARIGI] - Lotto di 6 opere sulla fortificazione di Parigi. An interesting group of phamplets regarding the political discussion over the fortificazion of Paris. The theme of fortification had been important for the French society since the projects of Vauban and received an increase of interest after the Russians and the Prussians conquered Paris in 1814 and 1815. Paris in the end was not fortified but after the Franco-prussian war of 1871 and the WWI the French government re-opened the discussion and finally built the Maginot line. 8vo. CHOUMARA T.
