The Hotel Brighton, Boulogne, 1854. Creator: Unknown
The Hotel Brighton, Boulogne, 1854. Buildings in northern France commandeered for the military during the Crimean War. The Hotel Brighton, recently engaged by the Emperor of the French is, properly speaking, not at Boulogne, but at Capecure, which is a faubourg of Boulogne. It is a long yellow building, with no pretensions to any style or beauty of architecture, with "Hotel Brighton" in monster black letters painted on the outside. The front looks towards some extensive gardens which belong to it, and which are very tastefully arranged. The building is commodious. A temporary corps de garde for the Imperial Grenadiers...and temporary stables for the Imperial stud, have been erected. The private hotels and houses in the vicinity are occupied by the Emperor's staff and household'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hotel Brighton, Boulogne, 1854: A Temporary Abode for the Imperial Army During the Crimean War This photograph, taken in 1854, depicts The Hotel Brighton in Boulogne, France. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the building's exterior as it stood during a pivotal moment in history. At the time, the Hotel Brighton was not located in Boulogne proper but in Capecure, a faubourg or suburb of the city. The Hotel Brighton, a long, yellow building with no architectural pretensions, was recently acquired by Emperor Napoléon III of France. The building, with "Hotel Brighton" emblazoned in bold, black letters, faces extensive gardens, which are tastefully arranged. The structure is commodious, serving as temporary quarters for the Imperial Grenadiers and stables for the Imperial stud. The private hotels and houses in the vicinity were also occupied by the Emperor's staff and household. This photograph offers a glimpse into the temporary military encampment established during the Crimean War. The building, though unassuming in appearance, played a crucial role in accommodating the French armed forces during this significant historical period. The black and white image, reminiscent of an engraving, captures the essence of the time. The flags of the French army flutter in the wind, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The photograph, taken from the Illustrated London News, provides a unique perspective on the intersection of architecture, military history, and European politics during the 19th century.
