EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of a house in the Napoleon housing development, located at 58 rue Rochechouart in Paris. Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 19th century, this colour lithograph provides a glimpse into the architectural marvels of its time. The image portrays a cooperative living space designed for workers and their families, known as "cite ouvriere". This idealistic concept aimed to create an environment that fostered socialism and cooperation among residents. The architect behind this visionary project was Marie Gabriel Veugny, whose innovative ideas sought to improve the lives of the working class. With its utopian aspirations, this worker city offered apartments that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The cross-section reveals various flats within the building, showcasing how each unit catered to different needs and family sizes. It is evident that great attention was given to creating comfortable homes for those who labored tirelessly. As we delve into this historical photograph, we are transported back in time when such ambitious projects aimed to transform society through architecture. This particular image serves as a reminder of not only the ingenuity of past generations but also their dedication towards improving living conditions for all members of society – especially those from humble backgrounds.
