EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable transformations that took place in Paris under the Second Empire, specifically during the reign of Napoleon III and his chief urban planner, Georges-Eugene Haussmann. The image captures a pivotal moment in history as it depicts the construction of the Hotel de la Paix and provides a glimpse into the future location of one of Paris' most iconic landmarks, the Opera Garnier. The engraving, originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on August 31st, 1861, offers a fascinating insight into Haussmann's grand vision for Paris. It beautifully portrays the intersection between Neuve des Mathurins Street, Chaussee d Antin Street, and Boulevard des Capucines - an area that would soon be transformed into an elegant boulevard haussmannien. The black and white composition exudes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting both progress and innovation. As viewers gaze upon this historical snapshot, they are transported back to a time when bustling construction sites dotted the cityscape.
