EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the beauty and significance of the Wallace fountain installed in Paris in 1872. The French School of the 19th century skillfully portrays this iconic sculpture, which stands as a testament to public works and decorative art. The focal point of the image is a woman tenderly holding a baby while standing beside the ornate water fountain. This mother-child duo symbolizes the nurturing spirit that Richard Wallace, an English philanthropist, aimed to promote through his generous donation. The cast iron structure with its intricate design adds elegance to any square it graces. The engraving showcases not only the artistic value but also highlights how this fountain served as a source of refreshment for both locals and visitors alike. Its presence brought life to Parisian streets, providing clean drinking water at a time when access was limited. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in European history. It reminds us of France's rich culture and their commitment to improving urban spaces for all citizens. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. Let us cherish this snapshot into our past and celebrate how public art continues to shape our cities around the world.
