EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Lyons and its Environs" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the rich history and architectural beauty of this French city. The print, part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Imperial Gazetteer, A General Dictionary of Geography. The image transports us to Lyons (now Lyon), a city known for its grandeur and cultural significance. From the imposing Fort de la Ducliere to the majestic Grand Theatre, every corner is filled with historical landmarks that tell stories of centuries past. The bustling Place Louis and Place Bellecour come alive with their vibrant atmosphere, while the Hotel Dieu and General Hospital stand as symbols of compassion and care. The engraving also highlights Lyon's religious heritage with its magnificent cathedral dominating the skyline. As we explore further, we encounter charming gardens like Jardin des Plantes and hidden gems such as Bibliotheque Arsenal. From forts like Villeurbanne to educational institutions like Ecole Veterinaire, this print captures Lyon's diverse facets - from military strength to intellectual prowess. It even includes details about railway stations that were crucial for transportation during that era. With each element meticulously engraved by an English School artist from Blackie Publishers around 1855, this artwork offers a glimpse into Lyon's past glory. It serves as a reminder not only of Lyon's importance in France but also its place in European history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder so that we can appreciate Lyon's enchanting environs forevermore.
