Legendary Paris: Merlin and the Fee Vivianne arrive in front of the island where the city will be born - "". What is this river? La Seine - And this village? Lutece! - Excerpt from "Merlin the Enchanter" by Edgar Quinet - illustration by Albert Robida of the school book "Choix de lectures" by A Mironneau, Librairie Armand Colin 1911". This print takes us back in time to witness a legendary moment in Parisian history. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves on a boat alongside Merlin and the Fee Vivianne as they approach an island that will soon become home to one of Europe's most iconic cities. As their vessel glides gracefully along the gentle waters of La Seine, Merlin points towards a quaint village nestled on its banks. With curiosity gleaming in his eyes, he asks, "What is this river?". The answer comes effortlessly from his companion's lips – it is La Seine. But their journey doesn't end there; their destination lies beyond these shores. Intrigued by what awaits them ahead, they continue onward until reaching Lutece – a name that would later transform into modern-day Paris. This pivotal moment marks the birthplace of a city steeped in history and romance. The exquisite artwork by Albert Robida beautifully captures this mythical encounter between two extraordinary beings and an emerging metropolis. Its inclusion within "Choix de lectures" a renowned school book published in 1911, further solidifies its significance as both educational material and artistic masterpiece. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, we are transported into an imaginary world filled with magic and wonder. This photograph serves as a reminder that even legends have humble beginnings – just like Paris itself.
