EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1870, offering a glimpse into an extraordinary tour of the Parisian sewers. The image showcases a large group of men and women, elegantly dressed in their finest attire, as they embark on this unique underground adventure. Led by their curiosity and sense of exploration, these ladies and gentlemen are seen standing beside a waggon that is ready to take them through the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the city. Illustrated by Jules Pelcos for the Illustrated London News publication, this remarkable scene captures both the excitement and intrigue surrounding this unconventional tourist attraction. On the right side of the photograph, we can observe a tunnel leading up to Rue Laffitte in northern Paris - a testament to how far-reaching these intricate sewer systems were. Henry Guttmann's expert photography allows us to appreciate every detail within this archival print. From the railway tracks running alongside our group of tourists to the dimly lit surroundings that add an air of mystery, each element contributes to painting a vivid picture of life in 19th-century France. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even amidst societal advancements and technological progressions, there has always been an innate human fascination with exploring unseen worlds beneath our feet.
