EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the workers housing estate at 58 rue Rochechouart in Paris, circa 1870. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this unique community, designed by architect Marie Gabriel Veugny for the Societe des cites ouvrieres de Paris. Influenced by Charles Fourier's phalanstere concept, this development aimed to create an idealized society where workers could live harmoniously together. The image showcases a picturesque garden and a bustling street scene, with horse-drawn omnibuses passing by. The architecture of the buildings is striking, reflecting the French Second Empire style prevalent during that era. This worker cooperative was not just about providing shelter; it also included workshops and communal spaces that fostered a sense of unity among its residents. The engraving transports us into a utopian world where cooperation and solidarity were valued above all else. It symbolizes an ambitious attempt to create a socialist system of cooperation within an urban setting. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the aspirations behind such architectural endeavors – to build communities that would uplift their inhabitants both physically and spiritually. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal pursuit of creating better societies for all.
