EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Nouveau Tunnel du Mans" takes us back to the 19th century in France. The print showcases the architectural marvel of the newly constructed tunnel, connecting Pont Yssoire over the Sarthe river to Place des Jacobins. Executed under the guidance of engineers MM Caillaux, Thore, and Ricourt, this engineering feat is a testament to human ingenuity. The artist behind this intricate illustration is M Deroy, who skillfully captured every detail from M Guittet's photograph taken in Le Mans. Published in La Semaine des Constructeurs magazine during its second year (1877-78), this engraving served as an informative visual for readers interested in architecture and construction. The image transports us to a bygone era when technology was rapidly advancing and transforming cities across Europe. It offers a glimpse into history with its depiction of old buildings surrounding the tunnel entrance, highlighting their unique charm against modern progress. As we admire this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of France's rich cultural heritage and its contributions to European architecture. This print serves as both a window into the past and a celebration of human achievement that continues to inspire generations today.
