EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of Georges-Eugène Haussmann (1809-1891), the renowned French administrator and town planner. Haussmann is best known for his extensive urban renovation projects in Paris during the Second Empire, which transformed the city into a modern metropolis. The image, titled "Haussmann, Eugene, 1891," depicts the esteemed figure in a more casual setting, seated at a table with an open album in his hands. The album, likely filled with cherished memories and mementos, adds a touch of intimacy to the portrait. Haussmann's warm, smiling expression suggests a man at ease, far removed from the pressures of his professional life. The background of the photograph is adorned with a striking wallpaper, reminiscent of the intricate designs that were popular during the late 19th century. The room is furnished with ornate decor, further emphasizing the historical context of the photograph. Haussmann's legacy in French history is undeniable, as his urban planning innovations continue to shape Paris to this day. However, this photograph serves as a reminder that even the most influential figures had personal lives and moments of relaxation. The image invites us to appreciate Haussmann not just as a visionary administrator and planner, but as a man with a rich inner life and a sense of humor, as suggested by the playful reference to Figaro in the title. This photograph is a testament to the power of historical images to reveal unexpected facets of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who shaped our world.
