EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed perspective of the historical landmarks in Paris, including The Bastille, the Place Royale (now known as Place des Vosges), and the Rue Saint-Antoine. Taken from the renowned Plan de Turgot, engraved by Claude Lucas between 1734-39, this image offers a glimpse into the city's rich history. The Plan de Turgot was commissioned by Michel Etienne Turgot, who served as Prevôt des Marchands de Paris during that time. This plan aimed to capture the essence of Paris and its architectural marvels. It provides an exquisite bird's eye view of these iconic locations, allowing us to appreciate their grandeur and significance. In this particular detail from the engraving by Louis Bretez, we can observe intricate details such as buildings lining both sides of Rue Saint-Antoine leading up to The Bastille. The Place Royale (Place des Vosges) takes center stage with its elegant symmetry and beautiful gardens. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of cartography artistry, it transports us back in time to experience Parisian life during the 18th century. It reminds us of how cities evolve over centuries while preserving their cultural heritage. This print is a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a reminder that even though times change, some things remain timeless - like our fascination with capturing moments in history through art.
