Le palais du TrocadÂŽro aussi appelÂŽ Palais de pierre est construit pour l'occasion par l' architecte Gabriel Davioud et l'ingÂŽnieur Jules Bourdais. Les statues des Continents qui ornent alors la faÂade du palais du Trocadero ont ÂŽtÂŽ depuis lors rÂŽinstallÂŽes devant le musÂŽe d'Orsay. Au rang des principales attractions : la tÂte de la statue de la libertÂŽ est exposÂŽe au Champ-de-Mars l'aquarium est amÂŽnagÂŽ sur le site abandonnÂŽ d'anciennes carriÂres de pierre ˆ b‰tir situÂŽ ˆ flanc de la colline de Chaillot l'inventeur Henri Giffard construit un ballon captif de 25 000 m3 capable dÕemporter 40 ˆ 50 passagers. On dit alors que ce ballon situÂŽ aux Tuileries fit voler en deux mois autant de personnes que depuis le dÂŽbut de lÕaÂŽrostation. ParallÂlement au ballon captif la machine servant ˆ produire le gaz permet de gonfler de nombreux ballons libres permettant des ascensions variÂŽes parfois par groupes jusquՈ trois ballons simultanÂŽment. C'est d'ailleurs l'une des attractions phare de l'exposition o 35 000 personnes volÂrent ainsi dans la nacelle. Enfin et pour l'anecdote la maison de Champagne Mercier expose un foudre de vin de Champagne d'une contenance de soixante-quinze mille bouteilles. Ce tonneau est pourtant battu en gigantisme par celui de la dÂŽlÂŽgation de l'Autriche-Hongrie. Lequel contient cent-mille litres ! Angles et coupes ÂŽlimÂŽs. Quelques claires rousseurs dans le corps d'ouvrage. DÂŽchirure en marge gauche de la planche dÂŽpliante. Du reste belle condition. b42961 unknown

184017230Paris: V. Turgis editeur 10 rue Serpente 1840. Tinted lithograph with original hand colouring. Printed on wove paper. In excellent condition. Image size: 12 3/8 x 17 5/8 inches. A picturesque view of Lyon from the Guillotiere after a drawing by the celebrated French painter Nicolas-Marie Joseph Chapuy.<br/> <br/> Chapuy has chosen to depict Lyon from the Guillotiere neighborhood with the winding river running through the middle of the image. The docks next to the bridge are scattered with large stones and lumber and many small boats are moored along the banks. The bridge is crowded with pedestrians who make their way across the busy thoroughfare. Domes and spires crowd the horizon and two large boats hurry down the river. This sweeping view is a wonderful example of Chapuy's considerable talents and picturesque eye and a beautiful glimpse of Lyon in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Nicolas-Marie Joseph Chapuy was born in Paris in 1790 and in his early life became an officer in the Navy. An accomplished architect and landscape painter Chapuy is perhaps best known for his stunning lithographs. He exhibited regularly at the Salon and in 1833 won a third class medal for his lithography. He produced a wide array of lithographs which varied in subject from historical scenes to architectural views. Yet it was his landscape prints which received the most praise and garnered him his celebrated reputation. This impressive view of Lyon is a fantastic example of Chapuy's talents. The image includes a numbered key at the bottom of the sheet which lists all the principal buildings and monuments in the image and provides their exact location.<br/> <br/> Benezit.
