The New Gardens and Palace of the Tuileries, and the New and Old Louvre, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The New Gardens and Palace of the Tuileries, and the New and Old Louvre, 1858. Harmonisation of the Tuileries and the new Louvre in Paris. The necessity of the change will be seen by a glance at the two palaces, where the elegance, richness, and elevation of the one contrast strangely with the imperfections, crudeness, and awkward appearance of the other...strikingly exhibiting incongruities resulting from the different and anomalous styles of architecture...Under Louis XV. the wall of the Louvre situated at the end of the grounds was destroyed, and replaced by a bridge...A new bridge, in course of construction, will facilitate the approach to the new entrance for the inhabitants residing on the left bank of the river. The private flower-beds now extend to the ornamental water, near the shrubbery, from which abuts a magnificent avenue in a line with the Pavilion de l'Horloge...Our Engraving represents not only the Gardens but the Palace of the Tuileries, the Place du Carousel, and the Old and New Louvre, the pavilions of which stand out in monumental grandeur. These are, on the right, the Pavilions Moliere, Denon, and Darm; the left, those of Turgot, Richelieu, and Colbert; and that at the back of the Old Louvre the Pavilion Sully'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1858, showcases the breathtaking view of The New Gardens and Palace of the Tuileries, and the New and Old Louvre in Paris during the harmonization process. The image highlights the striking contrast between the elegance, richness, and elevation of the Palace of the Tuileries and the imperfections, crudeness, and awkward appearance of the Old Louvre. Under the reign of Louis XV, the wall of the Louvre situated at the end of the gardens was destroyed, and in its place, a bridge was built to connect the two sides of the river. A new bridge, under construction in this photograph, was intended to facilitate the approach to the new entrance for the inhabitants residing on the left bank of the river. The photograph also reveals the private flower-beds extending to the ornamental water, near the shrubbery, from which a magnificent avenue in a line with the Pavilion de l'Horloge can be seen. The Gardens, Place du Carousel, and both the Old and New Louvre are depicted in the photograph, with the Pavilions Moliere, Denon, and Darm on the right, and those of Turgot, Richelieu, and Colbert on the left. The Pavilion Sully is visible at the back of the Old Louvre. This photograph, taken from 'Illustrated London News' in 1858, provides a unique glimpse into the history of Paris and the transformation of its iconic landmarks. The incongruities resulting from the different and anomalous styles of architecture are evident, making this image a fascinating document of Parisian history.
