EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Letter I and J: the Invalides and the Garden of Plants" takes us back to 19th century Paris, showcasing the exquisite architecture and monuments that define this iconic city. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, is part of a series called "Alphabet Picturesque des Monumens de Paris" which beautifully captures different landmarks in each letter of the alphabet. In this particular image, we are presented with two notable sites - Les Invalides and the Garden of Plants. Les Invalides, also known as Hôtel national des Invalides, is a historic complex originally built as a hospital for war veterans. Its grandeur is evident in its impressive dome structure dominating the skyline. Adjacent to Les Invalides lies the enchanting Garden of Plants (Jardin des Plantes), one of Paris' oldest botanical gardens. This serene oasis offers respite from bustling city life with its meticulously manicured lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and charming pathways. The delicate lines and intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to a time when these landmarks were still relatively new. It serves as a reminder of both France's rich history and its commitment to preserving architectural marvels for future generations to admire. This remarkable print provides viewers with a glimpse into 19th-century Parisian life while celebrating the beauty found within these significant cultural treasures.
