French educational chart with Paris as the origin point

This french litograph depicts the latitude and longitude lines of the world including the Equator and Prime Meridian. The six spherical representations of the Earth depict various geographic coordinates through both horizontal and vertical lines. Unique in its perspective, Paris is portrayed as the origin point for the prime meridian (the starting point of 0 degrees) instead of the internationally agreed upon location of Greenwich, England. It is exceptional in its detail as each mathematical coordinate line is labeled and identified. VERY RARE.
