EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of the basement of the iconic Credit Lyonnais building located at 19 Boulevard des Italiens, captured between 1878 and 1882. The colored engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the interior world of this renowned financial institution. The image reveals a meticulously designed underground space that exudes both grandeur and security. Rows upon rows of safes and safety deposit boxes line the vaults, emphasizing the bank's commitment to protecting its clients' valuable assets. The cut-away view allows us to appreciate the intricate architecture and attention to detail in constructing this subterranean sanctuary. As we explore further into this hidden realm, we are drawn down long corridors that stretch beyond our field of vision. Every aspect has been carefully considered to ensure utmost safety for those entrusted with their wealth within these walls. This historical photograph not only captures an architectural marvel but also serves as a testament to Credit Lyonnais' legacy as one of France's most esteemed financial institutions. Its significance lies not just in its function as a bank but also in its ability to inspire awe through its combination of beauty and impenetrable security. Displayed proudly within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this enchanting print invites us on a journey through time while reminding us of the importance placed on safeguarding our most precious possessions throughout history.
