EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling workshops of Eugene Delessert, the esteemed General Director of Public Celebrations during the French Second Empire. Taken in August 1861 by Edmond Morin, this engraving showcases a moment frozen in time at Delessert's construction site on Avenue de l'Imperatrice (now Avenue Foch) in Paris. In this image, we witness a harmonious blend of elegance and industry. Horse-drawn carriages line the streets as aristocrats and members of haute bourgeoisie stroll alongside them. The air is filled with an aura of celebration as workers diligently go about their tasks, constructing magnificent structures for public events organized by Delessert himself. The scene exudes sophistication and opulence, reflecting the stylish society that thrived under Napoleon III's reign. From fashionable women on horseback to dapper gentlemen walking or riding in cabs, every aspect speaks volumes about the elegant life enjoyed by Parisians during this era. Notably, Maison Alexis Godillot can be seen in the background - a renowned establishment associated with luxury footwear production at that time. This detail adds another layer to our understanding of both industrial progress and societal class distinctions prevalent during these times. Overall, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an era where craftsmanship met grandeur and where Eugene Delessert orchestrated unforgettable celebrations for all to enjoy.
