EDITORS COMMENTS
The Centenary of the Ecole Polytechnique: A ball at the Trocadero, captured in this vibrant color lithograph from 1894, transports us back to a grand celebration of knowledge and camaraderie. The Ecole Polytechnique, once a prestigious military college until 1970, marked its centennial with an extravagant event that brought together officers, both male and female, dressed in their resplendent uniforms. The scene depicted is one of joyous revelry as couples twirl across the dance floor amidst opulent surroundings. The Trocadero Palace provides a majestic backdrop with its ornate architecture illuminated by soft hues. This print captures not only the elegance and grace of the attendees but also serves as a testament to France's republican spirit. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of education and intellectual pursuits. The Ecole Polytechnique has long been renowned for nurturing brilliant minds who have contributed immensely to scientific advancements and societal progress. This image invites us to reflect on our own pursuit of knowledge and reminds us that celebrations like these serve as reminders of our collective achievements.
