EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling world of 19th-century shopping. Titled "The New Staircase in Au Bon Marche" it captures a moment frozen in time at this iconic department store. The image, originally an engraving from Le Monde Illustre, showcases the artistic collaboration between Frederic Lix and Auguste Deroy. As we delve into the scene, we are immediately drawn to the magnificent staircase that serves as the centerpiece of this grand establishment. Its ornate balustrade adds an air of elegance while guiding shoppers up and down its steps. Victorian fashion is on full display here, with well-dressed customers navigating through a sea of fellow shoppers. The energy within Au Bon Marche is palpable; every corner seems alive with activity. From women perusing racks of clothing to men engrossed in conversation, this snapshot encapsulates the vibrant atmosphere that defined these early retail spaces. While we cannot help but marvel at the architectural beauty captured by Lix and Deroy's lens, it is important to note that this photograph belongs to a private collection and should not be used for commercial purposes. Nonetheless, it serves as a remarkable testament to both historical design and our timeless fascination with consumerism.
