EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning panoramic view of the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) of 1878 in Paris, captured by the skilled hand of French artist Fougère, offers a breathtaking glimpse into the past. The image, created as a color lithograph, showcases the grandeur and scale of the event that took place on the Champ de Mars, an expansive open field in the heart of the city. The Exposition Universelle, held from May to October 1878, was a significant cultural and industrial milestone, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The fair showcased the latest technological innovations, artistic creations, and architectural marvels of the time. In this panoramic view, we see the Palais des Machines, a massive iron and glass structure that housed the industrial exhibits, as well as the Palais des Beaux-Arts, dedicated to fine arts. The iconic Eiffel Tower, still under construction during the fair, can be seen in the background. The Trocadéro Gardens, with their picturesque terraces, provide a scenic backdrop to the bustling activity below. Fougère's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to experience the excitement and wonder of the Exposition Universelle of 1878. This work of art is a testament to the rich history and artistic legacy of Paris and France.
