EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable transformations of Paris under the Second Empire, specifically showcasing the piercing of Boulevard du Prince Eugene (now known as Boulevard Voltaire). The engraving, featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on September 20th, 1862, offers a glimpse into the ambitious urban planning efforts led by Georges-Eugene Haussmann. The image transports us back to a construction site bustling with activity. Workers can be seen laboring diligently to create this grand boulevard that would forever change the face of Paris. It is a testament to Haussmann's vision and determination to modernize and beautify the city. The wide street view depicted in this print showcases not only the physical transformation but also symbolizes progress and innovation. The meticulously planned boulevard represents an era of change and growth for France's capital. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures this historical moment through his artistic lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a window into Paris' rich history and reminds us of the immense impact that urban planning can have on shaping cities. As we admire this piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded of how far Paris has come since its Second Empire days while still cherishing its architectural heritage.
