The map, produced by French cartographers, offers a unique perspective on the urban layout of the city during a pivotal period in its history. The map is part of the extensive collection housed at the Barcelona City History Museum in Spain, which preserves and shares the rich cultural and historical heritage of Barcelona and Catalonia.

The map also includes various annotations and labels in both French and Catalan, showcasing the multilingual nature of the city and its inhabitants. This map print not only serves as a testament to the city's rich history but also as a reminder of the cultural exchanges and influences that have shaped Barcelona into the vibrant and cosmopolitan city it is today.
