Framed Print of Paris Observatory, 17th Century
The observatory in the beginning of the 18th century with the wooden "Marly Tower" on the right, moved to the grounds by Giovanni Cassini, for the mounting of long tubed telescopes and even longer tubeless aerial telescopes. The Paris Observatory (Observatoire de Paris) is the foremost astronomical observatory of France, and one of the largest astronomical centers in the world. Its historic building is to be found on the Left Bank of the Seine in central Paris. Its foundation lies in the ambitions of Jean-Baptiste Colbert to extend France's maritime power and international trade in the 17th century. Louis XIV promoted its construction starting in 1667 and completed in 1671. The architect of the Paris Observatory was Claude Perrault whose brother, Charles, was secretary to Colbert and superintendent of public works. © New York Public Library / Science Source
