This is an original 1894 photogravure from Sights and Scenes of the World, published by W.B. Conkey Company of Chicago. The plate features the Grand Opera House in Paris, better known as the Palais Garnier, one of the most celebrated masterpieces of French architecture, Beaux‑Arts design, and 19th‑century European cultural history.
The caption highlights the building’s monumental construction period (1861–1874), its lavish use of international marble, and its status as one of the most expensive and elaborate theatres ever built. This early Paris architectural print captures the Palais Garnier with horse‑drawn carriages and pedestrians, offering a rare historical view of Parisian street life, opera history, and European fine‑arts heritage before modern development.
This is an authentic 1894 photogravure, not a modern reprint or halftone. The Title Page from the same 1894 portfolio will be shown beside all listing photos to reinforce provenance and authenticity.
Ideal for collectors of:
• Palais Garnier / Paris Opera
• French architecture
• Beaux‑Arts design
• 19th‑century European prints
