EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Passerelle du Pont-au-Change, Paris, apres l Incendie de 1621 (Footbridge Temporarily Replacing the Pont-au-Change, Paris, after the Fire of 1621), 1860" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Paris during the 17th century. The image showcases a temporary footbridge that was constructed after a devastating fire in 1621 destroyed the original Pont-au-Change bridge. The etching on papier colle technique used by Charles Meryon beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical moment. In the foreground, we see several rowing boats gracefully gliding along the River Seine while people go about their daily activities. The Passerelle du Pont-au-Change stands tall as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. Its structure serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to restore normalcy even in times of crisis. As we gaze at this artwork, our imagination transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten. We can almost feel ourselves walking across that temporary footbridge, surrounded by bustling crowds and admiring the breathtaking views of Paris' iconic landmarks. This print is not just a piece of art; it is also a window into history—a reminder that even in moments of destruction and chaos, beauty can emerge from ashes. It invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by mankind and nature's ability to heal and regenerate over time
