EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 19th century Paris, offering a unique glimpse into the diverse social classes that coexisted within the city. The cross section of a Haussmannien building beautifully illustrates the stark contrast between the five floors, each representing a different segment of French society. Engraved by Lavielle in 1850, this artwork showcases the intricate details of domestic life during that era. From the ground floor to the topmost level, we witness a visual narrative unfolding before our eyes. The lower floors depict modest accommodations with simple bedrooms and kitchens, likely belonging to working-class families striving for survival. As we ascend higher, we are introduced to more refined living spaces indicative of middle-class bourgeoisie households. These private hotels boast elegant interiors adorned with tasteful furnishings and decorative elements befitting their status. The staircase connecting these floors serves as both a physical and metaphorical symbol of upward mobility within French society at that time. It represents not only literal movement but also aspirations for better opportunities and improved living conditions. Through this engraving by Charles Albert d Arnoux (1820-82), preserved in a private collection today, we gain insight into an important period in Parisian history when urban planning transformed the cityscape under Baron Haussmann's direction. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder invites us to reflect on how societal divisions were manifested through architecture and interior design choices while reminding us of the timeless pursuit for progress and equality among all social classes.
