EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1852. It offers a unique glimpse into the hidden world beneath our feet, revealing the intricate network of drains, water pipes, and gas pipes that lay beneath the city's surface. The cross-section showcases not only the practical infrastructure but also provides valuable insights into the geological composition of this particular area. The detailed engraving by Renard in "Le Magasin picturesque" highlights how urban planning was intricately connected with an understanding of geology during this time period. As we study this image, we can't help but marvel at the level of knowledge and precision required to create such a comprehensive depiction. This piece serves as a testament to both French ingenuity and Stefano Bianchetti's talent for capturing historical moments through his art. It is fascinating to imagine what life must have been like on these very streets over a century ago - where people walked unknowingly above this underground labyrinth. This print invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found in architecture and landscapes but also in uncovering hidden layers that contribute to our understanding of history. Whether you are interested in urban planning, geology, or simply intrigued by glimpses into past eras, this remarkable artwork transports you back in time while reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to exploring our surroundings.
