Felix Benoist
Paris - Cirque de L'Imperatrice, French lithograph, 1861

1861

About the Item

'Cirque de l'Imperatrice aux Champs-Elysses', tinted lithograph by Felix Benoist (1818-1896). From a series of lithographs depicting the famous buildings of Paris - 'Paris dans sa Splendeur', published in Nantes and Paris by Henri Charpentier in 1861. The 'Cirque de l'Imperatrice' was located on the north-east side of the present Rond-Point of the Champs-Elysees. At first called the Cirque national, it also became known as the Cirque des Champs-Elysees and the Cirque Olympique des Champs-Elysees. In 1853 it was renamed Cirque de l'Imperatrice (in honor of the new Empress Eugenie), a name which it retained until the fall of the empire in 1870. Initially devoted exclusively to equestrian performances, it was later also used for other purposes, including grand concerts conducted by Hector Berlioz. 235mm by 360mm (image) 340mm by 495mm (sheet)

  • A Family of Moorhens & Lilly Pad: A 19th C. Hand-colored Lithograph by Gould
    By John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This is an original 19th century hand-colored folio-sized lithograph entitled "Gallinula Chloropus" (Moorhen) by John Gould, published in his "Birds of Great Britain", published in London between 1862 and 1873. The print, which was drawn by Gould and Henry Richter and lithographed by Walter & Cohn, depicts a family of Moorhens, including two adults and six babies in a beautiful landscape. The adults are in the water and the babies are lying on the leaves a flowering lilly pad. This striking Gould hand-colored moorhen family lithograph is augmented with gum-arabic paint. The sheet measures 14.88" high and 21.75" wide. It is in excellent condition, other than a spot in the upper portion of the right margin and two small spots at the edge of the lower margin on the left. The original descriptive text pages from Gould's 19th century publication are included. There are several other unframed Gould hummingbird lithographs available on our 1stdibs and InCollect storefronts. Two or more of these striking lithographs would make an attractive display grouping. A discount is available for purchase of a set depending on the number. These additional Gould hummingbirds may be viewed by typing Timeless Intaglio...
