EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the first tubular tramway project in Paris, showcasing the underground electric railway between Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne. The detailed map of the route is highlighted, along with a cut under the rue de Rivoli revealing the intricate tunnel construction, drains, and ventilation system near the Saint-Jacques tower.
The engraving by A. Normand from Universe Illustrous No. 1948 dated July 23, 1892 provides historical insight into this groundbreaking project. The text mentions how the City Council adopted Mr. Berlier's draft for the tramway, emphasizing that while Bastille station will be open-air with a monumental appearance, all other stations will be underground.
As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness the drilling and tunnel construction that laid the foundation for what would eventually become part of Paris' iconic metro system. The excitement and anticipation surrounding this innovative transportation initiative are palpable through this visual representation.
With meticulous attention to detail and historical significance, this print serves as a reminder of progress and innovation in urban infrastructure development. It sparks curiosity about how such visionary projects shape cities and improve connectivity for generations to come.
