EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable transformation of Montagne Sainte-Genevieve in Paris during the late 19th century. Taken from rue Saint-Victor in 1877, this engraving by Felix Thorigny showcases the extensive improvements made to the city under Baron Georges Eugene Haussmann's grand vision. The image reveals a bustling building site with workers diligently laboring to reshape and modernize the landscape. The Church Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet stands tall amidst the construction, symbolizing both tradition and progress. This snapshot into history allows us to witness firsthand the immense effort put forth by these laborers as they wield shovels, axes, and picks to shape a new urban environment. Haussmannization or haussmannisation refers to Haussmann's revolutionary town planning efforts that aimed at transforming Paris into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing cityscape. The changes brought about by this ambitious project are evident in every corner of this photograph. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured by Thorigny, we are reminded of how cities evolve over time through careful planning and hard work. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in shaping our surroundings for future generations. This intriguing glimpse into Paris' past invites us to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also the tireless efforts undertaken by countless individuals who dedicated themselves to creating an improved urban landscape for all to enjoy.
