Description

Decorative folding plan of Brussels, with to the right, left and bottom a key to the important street buildings and streets. Prepared by L.Mols - Marchal. This edition is obvious an updated state as the plan is now dedicated to Karel Buls (13 October 1837–13 July 1914) who was a Belgian politician and mayor of the City of Brussels from 1881 and remained in office until 1899.

At his initiative policemen had to be able to speak both French and Dutch and bilingual signposting was established throughout the city. He was in favour in preservation of old parts of Brussels. Buls was a steadfast defender and admirer of the Mont des Arts and the Grand Place.
Buls was an accomplished and prolific author, not merely on educational and artistic issues but also publishing accounts of his travels abroad.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).
