EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Boulevard des Italiens, c. 1840" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the mid-19th century. The vivid colors and intricate details captured through the lithographic technique by Felix Benoist transport us into a world long gone. The Boulevard des Italiens was known as one of the most fashionable and vibrant boulevards in Paris at that time. This street scene showcases a lively atmosphere with elegantly dressed pedestrians strolling along its wide sidewalks, horse-drawn carriages passing by, and charming storefronts lining both sides. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn towards the Passage de l'Opera, an iconic landmark that still stands today. This passage served as a hub for cultural activities and social gatherings, attracting artists, intellectuals, and fashion-forward individuals alike. Gihaut Freres, renowned publishers of books featuring picturesque views of Paris during this era, were responsible for bringing this remarkable lithograph to life. Their dedication to capturing the essence of Parisian life is evident in every brushstroke. Now preserved within the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this print serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage embedded within these grand boulevards. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides a glimpse into everyday life during this transformative period in French history.
