EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the lively atmosphere of Les Porcherons, a beloved Parisian pleasure ground in the 18th century. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this pencil and watercolor masterpiece captures the essence of joy and entertainment. Situated in the heart of the 8th Arrondissement, at the end of Chaussee-d'Antin, Les Porcherons was a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike. Similar to London's Vauxhall Gardens, it offered a delightful combination of fairgrounds and gardens where people could indulge in various forms of amusement. In this bustling scene depicted on paper, we witness a diverse crowd reveling in their leisure time.

As we gaze upon this artwork from Musee Carnavalet's collection at Musee de la Ville de Paris today, we are reminded of how these pleasure grounds were once cherished spaces where residents sought respite from daily life. It serves as a testament to our timeless
