EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate plans of Versailles and Paris in 1789. The vibrant colours of the lithograph bring to life the historical significance of these iconic locations. Created by William R. Shepherd, this artwork was featured in his renowned Historical Atlas, published in 1924. The detailed map reveals not only the physical layout but also provides a glimpse into the rich history and mythology associated with these cities. Mythological figures grace the borders, reminding us of their significant role in shaping human beliefs and culture. As we examine this image, we are transported back to a time when paganism and polytheism were prevalent religious practices. The inclusion of mythological characters serves as a reminder that religion has played an integral part throughout history. Versailles, known for its opulence and grandeur, is juxtaposed against Paris - a city steeped in revolution and political upheaval during this period. This contrast highlights the diverse nature of France's past and underscores how both locations have shaped its identity. With every line meticulously drawn on this map, we can appreciate Shepherd's dedication to preserving historical accuracy while creating an aesthetically pleasing piece of art. It serves as a testament to his passion for cartography and his desire to educate others about our shared past. This print is not just an exquisite work of art; it is also a window into centuries gone by – inviting us to explore the stories embedded within these ancient streets and buildings.
