EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour engraving captures the historic Barriere de Bercy, also known as the Barrier of Bercy, in Paris, France. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this important landmark that once served as a customs control point for tax collection on goods entering the city.
The Barrier of Bercy was part of the Fermier Generaux system, which collected taxes on agricultural products and other goods passing through its gates. This engraving by Debucourt from around 1810 beautifully depicts the architecture and bustling activity surrounding this checkpoint.
In addition to its role in taxation and customs enforcement, the Barrier of Bercy was a hub for transportation and trade. Horse-drawn carriages and other means of conveyance can be seen in the image, highlighting the importance of this location in facilitating commerce within Paris.
As you gaze upon this print, you are transported back in time to an era when barriers like these played a crucial role in regulating economic activity. The attention to detail and historical significance captured in this engraving make it a valuable piece for anyone interested in agriculture, architecture, or French history.
