Step back in time to the vibrant Champs de Mars of the 19th century, where English gentlemen placed their bets on an extraordinary foot race amidst the exhilarating horse-racing meet. The atmosphere was electric as spectators eagerly awaited the outcome, their excitement palpable in every cheer and gasp. But this iconic Parisian landmark held more than just thrilling races. On that historic day of March 31st, 1814, it transformed into a bivouac for the mighty Cossacks, who set up camp with their regal presence gracing the vast expanse. An engraving captures this momentous occasion, immortalizing their strength and valor. they also served as a grand stage for majestic celebrations honoring royalty. In one such event captured in an exquisite engraving, King Sardinia is revered by a gathering of distinguished individuals paying homage to his reign. The air buzzes with festivity and elegance as they gather under clear skies adorned with colorful banners. Yet not all scenes were filled with jubilation; some depicted moments of compassion and empathy. In an evocative engraving titled 'The Distress in Paris, ' we witness a night refuge established within Palais des Arts Liberaux on the Champs de Mars – offering solace to those less fortunate during challenging times. Across continents, even Tsar himself found solace at another March Past on Russia's own Champs de Mars - St Petersburg. His watchful eyes observed his loyal Bodyguard (2nd Cossack Guards) marching proudly before him during a Spring Review - capturing both power and grace in lithographic form. However, it was not only ground-breaking events that unfolded here but also groundbreaking flights. Jean-Pierre Francois Blanchard achieved history's first successful manned hydrogen balloon flight over these very grounds on March 2nd, 1784. A feat that forever changed our understanding of human exploration and the boundless possibilities of the skies.
