EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the early 19th century showcases the majestic Imperial Napoleon Lycee, a historic educational institution with a rich and storied past. Originally known as the Central School of the Pantheon in 1796-1804, it later transformed into the Lycee Napoleon from 1804 to 1815, serving as the first secondary school of the Republic. Over the years, it underwent several name changes including College Henri IV and Lycee Corneille before settling on its current name, Lycee Henri IV, in 1873.
In the background of this print stands the impressive Sainte Genevieve Abbey, which was constructed in the 6th century but unfortunately destroyed in 1807. The juxtaposition of these two architectural marvels provides a glimpse into Parisian history and culture during this era.
The intricate details captured in this engraving offer viewers a window into a bygone time when education and tradition were deeply intertwined. The grandeur of these buildings serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and legacy in academia. This image is not just a snapshot but rather a piece of art that encapsulates centuries worth of history within its frame.
