EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the enchanting shopfront of Café Tesse, located at 1 Quai Voltaire in Paris, circa 1800. The image is based on watercolors by the renowned French architect Hector-Martin Lefuel (1810-1880), who is celebrated for his work on the completion of the Louvre and Fontainebleau. The Café Tesse shopfront is a captivating blend of Neoclassical and Empire styles, reflecting the rich architectural heritage of Paris during the First Empire period. The facade is adorned with intricate details, including ornate columns, delicate moldings, and elaborate ironwork. The large, arched windows allow ample natural light to filter in, inviting passersby to step inside and savor the delights of the café. The vibrant colors and meticulous shading in this lithograph bring the shopfront to life, transporting us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the early 19th century. The image is taken from Albert Morance's Parisian Stores of the First Empire, published in 1925, which showcases the architectural splendor of Paris during this era. This stunning lithograph is not only a testament to the beauty of Parisian architecture but also a reminder of the city's rich history and cultural significance.
