A scene in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris - the Pré Catelan, 1860. Creator: Unknown
A scene in the Bois de Boulogne - the Pre Catelan, 1860. In this wood of woods, whose clear and beautiful lakes, fairylike islands, pretty chalets, and charming promenades for visitors, either on foot, en voiture, or on horseback, offer a succession of enjoyments, there exists also the fashionable resort represented in our Illustration, open in the daytime for a small entrance-fee, and at night, in the fine summer season, for concerts and theatrical performances in the open air...[It is] attended by an immense number of wealthy Parisians and distinguished foreigners. Our Engraving...depicts very exactly the coup-d'oeil of this charming inclosure, with its numerous chalets, theatres, tents, and refreshment-rooms...The merit of the creation of this establishment is due to M. Ber, who has organised it on a scale worthy of the elite of Parisian society by whom it is attended'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Scene in the Bois de Boulogne - the Pré Catelan, 1860: An Enchanting Retreat for Parisian High Society The Bois de Boulogne, a sprawling forested park located on the western outskirts of Paris, has long been a beloved destination for visitors seeking respite from the bustling city. The park's clear and beautiful lakes, fairy-like islands, picturesque chalets, and charming promenades offer a succession of delightful experiences for those who wander its paths, whether on foot, in a carriage, or on horseback. Our captivating image, created in 1860, transports us to the heart of the Pré Catelan, a fashionable resort nestled within this woodland paradise. Open to the public during the day for a small entrance fee, and in the fine summer season for outdoor concerts and theatrical performances, the Pré Catelan was a must-visit destination for Paris's wealthy elite and distinguished foreigners. The engraving before you provides an accurate depiction of this enchanting enclave, with its numerous chalets, theatres, tents, and refreshment rooms. The creation and organization of this establishment is the merit of M. Ber, who meticulously curated it to cater to the refined tastes of Parisian high society. As you examine the intricate details of this image, take a moment to imagine the scene unfolding before you: the gentle rustle of leaves, the sound of laughter carried on the breeze, and the lively chatter of elegant patrons as they enjoy the beauty and charm of the Pré Catelan in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne.
