Garnier Charles (1825-1898) immortalizes the magnificence of the Opera House through his lens, capturing its architectural splendor for generations to admire. The photo stands as a testament to human creativity and ambition. Intriguingly, Michel de Marillac emerges from history as both conseiller d'état and garde des sceaux—a man entrusted with great responsibility during his time. His presence adds depth to our understanding of Paris' political landscape. The etching sheets depicting Sainte Julienne de Mont-Cornillon and Saint Bernard de Clairvaux transport us back in time, showcasing delicate craftsmanship that breathes life into these revered religious figures.

Meanwhile, Jacques Le Mercier's etching pays homage to his role as architecte du roi—an artist whose vision shaped Paris' iconic skyline. Saint Charles Borromee stands tall among cardinals and archbishops as a symbol of faith and devotion. Augustin de Thou's etching further immerses us in historical intrigue by highlighting his presidency at Parlement—a position steeped in power and influence. An enchanting watercolor ivory captures an artist family ca 1800—perhaps their shared passion for creation binds them together across generations. Their miniature masterpiece is a window into their world. Le Cavalier enchants with its ethereal beauty—the image transports us on horseback through rolling landscapes where dreams meet reality. Its dimensions remind us that art can be both vast yet intimately personal.
