Kiosk in the Bois de Boulogne, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Kiosk in the Bois de Boulogne, [Paris], 1858. One of the principal ornaments of the Bois de Boulogne is the Kiosk represented in our Sketch. Situated on the extremity of an island in one of the lakes of this beautiful wood, it is not unfrequently a but de promenade for our Parisian friends, more especially at this season of the year, when the scene is enlivened by the presence of numerous pleasure skiffs of a very ornamental description, manned by sailors wearing the well-known costume of the matelots of the Seine. On certain nights, also, thousands of variegated lamps placed near the ground add an extra charm to this pretty scene, which is in the immediate vicinity of the enchanting Pre Catelan...Those of our readers who have visited Paris will be pleased to have this refreshing spot recalled to their souvenir; and those who have not will be enabled by our Sketch to picture to themselves one of the prettiest parts in the much-talked-of and much-admired Bois de Boulogne'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1858, showcases the picturesque Kiosk located in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne forest in Paris. The Kiosk, a popular attraction in this scenic woodland retreat, stands proudly on the edge of an island in one of the lakes. In this idyllic setting, Parisian visitors often gathered around the Kiosk for leisurely strolls, particularly during the warmer seasons. The presence of ornamental pleasure skiffs on the lake, manned by sailors in traditional Seine matelot costumes, added to the allure of the scene. During certain evenings, the area was further enchanting as thousands of variegated lamps were placed near the ground, casting a magical glow over the scene. For those fortunate enough to have visited Paris during this era, this refreshing spot would surely bring back fond memories. And for those who have not, this photograph offers a glimpse into one of the most beautiful and admired parts of the Bois de Boulogne, a place where nature and culture intertwined to create an unforgettable experience.
