"Unearthed Treasures: A Glimpse into the Past through 'Fouilles'" Step back in time with these captivating engravings that showcase the remarkable discoveries made during archaeological excavations, known as 'fouilles'. Delve into the rich history of Paris and marvel at the artifacts unearthed from various sites across the city. One engraving transports us to 1847 when a magnificent Corinthian marble capital was found during excavations on Place du Parvis. This exquisite piece hails from the Merovingian era, offering a glimpse into ancient craftsmanship. Another engraving reveals remnants of a twelfth-century house recently uncovered while digging for the construction of Pont-au-Double's foundation. These findings shed light on medieval architecture and provide insight into life centuries ago. Venturing further underground, we encounter an intriguing scene depicted in an engraving titled "The First Fire Lit at the Entrance of Burial Caves. " Witness how these caverns transformed over time into burial grounds, becoming sacred resting places for generations past. Continuing our journey through time, we stumble upon bas-reliefs discovered during excavations at Hotel-Dieu in 1867. These intricate carvings offer glimpses into artistic expressions prevalent during that period. A high relief sculpture depicting Mercury awaits our attention next. Uncovered during digs at Saint-Jacques-la-Boucherie Tower in 1854, this masterpiece now resides within Palais des Thermes—a testament to both Roman influence and skilled craftsmanship. Amongst these finds lies a unique artifact—an ancient Gaulish god with three faces—unearthed from new Hotel-Dieu's excavation site in 1866. This discovery sheds light on Gaulish religious beliefs and their pantheon of deities. Fragmentary architectural elements also make appearances throughout these engravings.
