EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a panoramic view of the Overground Metro in Paris, taken from an illustration featured in Le Metropolitain magazine back in May 1885. The lithograph was created by a talented French School artist from the 19th century and is now housed at the Bibliotheque de L Arsenal in Paris, France. The image transports us to a bustling scene of urban life, where the innovative Metro Aerien stands tall with its unique superposed track system. This groundbreaking invention was brought to life by Milinaire Freres, a renowned firm of engineers during that time. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the intricately detailed engraving that captures every aspect of this public transport marvel. From the single track stretching far into the distance to the grandeur of Place Clichy station, it's evident that this railway system was designed with both functionality and beauty in mind. Although over a century has passed since its creation, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. It serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity can shape our cities and revolutionize transportation systems for generations to come.
