It is odd that no map credits are given in this calendar. There is just a title; "Paris Circa 1900". I usually like to have a link or give credit for the maps I post but in this case I must defer to the calendar's publisher Cavallini & Co.
Here is a detail of part of Central Paris for your viewing pleasure.

I think 1901 isn't very accurate... Sacré Coeur wasn't completed until 1914.
Sweet!
This map was actually issued over a long period of time with minor updates and modifications. We have had examples as early as 1870 and as late as 1930. Since this is a reproduction prepared for a calendar, they editors probably did not invest themselves seriously in researching the individual maps.

I just discovered your blog after doing a search for vintage map Paris. I love maps! This one is wonderful.
