EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1890 takes us back to a bygone era of Parisian elegance and charm. The bustling streets of late 19th-century Paris come alive as two dashing horsemen make their way through the iconic Bois de Boulogne, accompanied by their majestic steeds. The scene is set against the backdrop of the magnificent Arc de Triomphe, standing tall and proud as a symbol of France's rich history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also an expression of status and sophistication. Intriguing details emerge within this snapshot of Belle Époque society - from well-dressed men on horseback to a diligent street sweeper diligently plying his broom amidst all the activity. It captures both the vibrancy and social dynamics that characterized life during this period. As we delve into this historical image, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a picturesque moment frozen in time; it encapsulates an entire world steeped in tradition, culture, and class distinctions. This wood engraving serves as a window into French upper-class leisure activities while simultaneously offering us glimpses into everyday life on Parisian streets.
