EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the transformation of Paris under the Second Empire, specifically during Haussmann's ambitious urban planning project. The image showcases the sewer from the Strasbourg train station to the Seine, providing a unique perspective taken from the grand room on the day of the inauguration of Boulevard de Sebastopol. In 1858, General Espinasse, Minister of Interior at that time, paid a visit to this remarkable construction site. The French School artist who captured this scene in exquisite detail remains unknown but has left behind an invaluable historical record. The engraving portrays not only the physical progress made in tunneling and constructing sewers but also symbolizes Paris' evolution into a modern metropolis. Under Haussmann's vision and leadership, these transformations aimed to improve sanitation and public health while beautifying and expanding city infrastructure. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. This piece serves as a testament to France's commitment to progress during this era. Now preserved within a private collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to glimpse into Paris' past - witnessing firsthand how it underwent radical changes that would shape its identity for generations to come.
