EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mur d enceinte de Charles V et tour du Bois, vers 1450" takes us on a journey back in time to the heart of Paris during the 15th century. The image showcases the fortified wall and tower that once protected the city, providing a glimpse into its rich history. The intricate details captured by the French School in this 19th-century print transport us to an era when Saint Thomas and Saint Nicolas stood tall alongside the Tuileries gardens. The imposing Tour du Bois dominates the scene, serving as a symbol of strength and security for Charles V's reign. As we explore this artwork further, we are reminded of Paris' grandeur with mentions of Le Palais and Le Louvre within its walls. The batardeau stands strong against any potential threats from outside while preserving peace within. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Paris A Travers Les Ages" in 1875, showcasing how art can bring history to life. Its inclusion in private collections ensures that its beauty continues to be appreciated by enthusiasts who value both French culture and European heritage. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this remarkable piece through their careful preservation and presentation. This print serves as a testament to our shared past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come as societies within France, Europe, and beyond.
