EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us deep into the catacombs of Paris, offering a haunting view of the crossroads of the memento. The artist, Delannoy, skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere that surrounds this underground labyrinth. As our eyes wander through the intricate details of skeletal remains and dimly lit passageways, we are transported to a place where time stands still. The composition is based on a drawing by Delannoy himself, which was inspired by a photograph taken by Nadar. This collaboration between two talented artists brings forth an image that evokes both fascination and contemplation. It is as if we are peering into history itself, witnessing the silent stories held within these ancient walls. The engraving was originally featured in "The Illustrated Universe" on April 18th, 1866. Now part of a private collection, it serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Parisian artistry. Stefano Bianchetti's careful restoration work has ensured that this piece retains its original beauty for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but marvel at the delicate balance between life and death captured within its frames. It reminds us that even in darkness there can be beauty; even in mortality there can be artistry. This engraving invites us to explore not only Paris' physical landscape but also its rich cultural heritage hidden beneath its streets – an invitation we cannot resist accepting.
