EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paris Demolitions, the Barriers of Paris" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris. The engraving, created by Felix Thorigny in 1859, offers a glimpse into the dramatic changes taking place in the city during that time. The image showcases a vibrant street scene filled with various elements that define Parisian life. From charming taverns and architectural marvels to military schools and lively ball games, every detail captures the essence of this iconic city. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to Clichy, La Villette, and La Courtille - neighborhoods that witnessed significant demolitions as part of urban development projects. These transformations were documented for The Illustrated London News publication on December 10th, 1859. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only physical changes but also cultural aspects unique to France. The parlour game being played adds an element of entertainment and camaraderie amidst all the construction chaos. Through this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the spirit of old-world Europe. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still preserving their timeless charm.
