EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored aquatint engraving, titled "Meridian of the Palais Royal," is a captivating glimpse into the history of Paris in the early 19th century. The image, credited to Victor Auver and taken from "A Tour through Paris," published in London in 1825, depicts a bustling scene at the Palais Royal. At the center of the composition, a large meridian line is etched into the cobblestones, marking the exact midday position of the sun. A dandy in fashionable attire, complete with a top hat and cane, checks the time on his pocketwatch, no doubt ensuring he was punctual for his appointments. A beautiful woman, shielded from the sun with a parasol, looks on in surprise as the cannon, positioned at the end of the meridian, fires at exactly midday. The Palais Royal, a historic site in Paris, is bustling with activity. Street vendors and tradespeople line the streets, selling their wares to passersby. The grand architecture of the palace can be seen in the background, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. The intricate handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, bringing the people and the city to life. The aquatint engraving technique, which involves the use of acid to etch the image onto a copper plate, results in a rich, textured effect. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Paris was a hub of culture, fashion, and innovation. The Meridian of the Palais Royal is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a historical document, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed.
