EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Pont aux Changeurs, an engraving by the French School in the 19th century. The image takes us back in time to explore the rich history of Paris, specifically its topography and customs during the Middle Ages. The Pont aux Changeurs is beautifully depicted, with intricate details that bring this historical landmark to life. This pedestrian bridge, spanning across the Seine River, served as a vital connection point for merchants and traders during medieval times. Its aging wooden structure stands tall against a backdrop of charming houses along the riverbank. As we delve into this enchanting scene, we are transported to an era where manners and dress were vastly different from our own. The illustration was originally featured in Paul Lacroix's book "Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages" published around 1890. It offers us a glimpse into how people lived and interacted centuries ago. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this image, it has been brought back to its original glory. Now preserved in private collection but once part of the Cabinet des Estampes at National Library, this engraving allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can immerse themselves in this mesmerizing view of Parisian history captured on paper by talented artists from long ago.
