Description
Paris: Les Boulevards is a rare and charming facsimile edition that has been rediscovered by collector Neale M. Albert. This beautifully illustrated volume captures the essence of Paris's romantic architecture and vibrant street culture, inviting readers to stroll through its picturesque boulevards.
The book features delicately rendered Victorian-era illustrations of panoramic cityscapes, complete with horse-drawn carriages, women in society hats, and men in coattails. The unique binding includes eleven gatefolds, each page unfolding into six panels that display the famous promenades at once.
With its beautiful re-creations of iconic streets like boulevard des Italiens, avenue de l'Opéra, and boulevard Montmartre, this book is a treasure for anyone interested in Paris's rich history and culture. The introduction by author and curator Pamela Golbin adds historical context to each panoramic image, bringing the city's most important streets and landmarks to life.
