Subject: <1870 map of Strasbourg (UNCLASSIFIED)


Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

        Does anyone have a French map published before 1870 that shows the city plan of Strasbourg in Alsace? I am particularly interested in one that shows or notes the location of the City Hall, prior to the Franco-Prussian War. The Germans captured a map such as this, and used it to lay their artillery against the city hall. Regretfully, the map they captured was incorrect, and they shelled the municipal library instead.
        I would like to use an image of a similar map for an illustration for a talk I'm giving on captured maps.
