EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the magnificent Viaduct de Morlaix in Brittany, France. The viaduct stands proudly on the railway from Paris to Brest, serving as a testament to engineering marvels of its time. The intricate details captured by Lebreton et Marchand in this engraving are truly remarkable. Every arch and pillar is meticulously depicted, highlighting the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the sound of steam engines passing through and feel the vibrations beneath our feet. Louis Figuier's "Les Merveilles de la Science" serves as an invaluable historical document that transports us back to a time when rail travel was revolutionizing transportation across Europe. This particular edition published by Jouvet et Cie in 1867 allows us a glimpse into how people marveled at these technological advancements during that era. Leonard de Selva's photograph of this print brings it to life once again, reminding us of its enduring beauty even after all these years. It captures not only the essence of the viaduct but also pays homage to French artistry and craftsmanship. As we admire this image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to conquering nature's obstacles for progress and connectivity.
