Waiting for Coke at the Gasworks, Barriere d Italie - A Glimpse into 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Waiting for Coke at the Gasworks, Barriere d Italie" offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century France. Created by an English School artist in the 1800s, this print captures a moment in time during the Franco-Prussian War. The scene depicts a crowded street near the gasworks, where people eagerly await their turn to acquire coke - not to be confused with the popular beverage. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and impatience as individuals from all walks of life gather together. The intricate details of this artwork transport us back to a different era. We can almost hear the chatter among locals and feel their restlessness as they navigate through this busy intersection. The architecture surrounding them reflects French culture and adds depth to our understanding of European history. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on January 21st, 1871. Its inclusion in such a prominent publication suggests its significance as both an artistic representation and historical documentation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece today. As we gaze upon it, let us reflect on how art has always been intertwined with human experiences throughout history – capturing moments that transcend time and offering us windows into worlds long gone but never forgotten.
