EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning handcolored lithograph of the Shopfront of Phelippons Tobacco Store in Paris, circa 1800. This exquisite image is taken from Hector-Martin Lefuel's Parisian Stores of the First Empire, published in Paris in 1925. Lefuel, a renowned French architect known for his work on the completion of the Louvre and Fontainebleau, created the original watercolors that served as inspiration for this print. The tobacco store, located on Rue de Grenelle-Saint-Honoré, is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the First French Empire. The shopfront is adorned with intricate details, from the ornate ironwork to the elaborate signage. The tobacco leaves, displayed in the window, are a rich, earthy brown, contrasting beautifully against the pristine white of the storefront. The image transports us to a bygone era, where horse-drawn carriages clatter down the cobblestone streets and the scent of fresh tobacco wafts through the air. The print is a masterclass in historical preservation, offering a glimpse into Parisian life during the early 19th century. The handcolored lithograph, produced by Albert Morance, adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image. Each color is applied with precision and care, bringing the tobacco store to life in a way that a black and white reproduction could not. This is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, architecture, or the art of the past. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but also a valuable historical document. It offers a unique insight into the past, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of a bygone era.
