This intriguing antique ticket invites the esteemed Baron de Bourgoing to the Revue at Longchamps Hippodrome on the auspicious date of June 6, 1867. The ticket, a relic of a bygone era, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the French Second Empire. Longchamps Hippodrome, located in the heart of Paris, was a popular destination for the elite of French society during the late 19th century.

The ticket's elegant script and ornate design reflect the grandeur and sophistication of the time. Baron de Bourgoing, a member of the French nobility, would have been among the many distinguished guests at the revue. The ticket serves as a tangible link to the rich history of France during the Second Empire, a time of cultural and artistic flourishing. This precious artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, opulence, and horse racing.
