First page only
First page cut from the French magazine "Génie civil" from Saturday November 17, 1906.
“Civil Engineering” is a weekly review of French and foreign industries. The incredible aesthetic of these first pages make them a common decor element for a loft or industrial type decoration: Indeed, on a single sheet you will have visual elements from the beginning of the 20th century oriented towards industry, invention and mechanics, as well as a strong link with the history of these technological revolutions presented in the main illustration ( engraving or photo). To be framed for maximum shine! We have other elements of this type in stock on several themes (Aviation, militaria, Marine, locomotion, etc.), consult our other announcements, or contact us.
The illustration on this page represents: Electric plant of the Société d'Électrcité de Paris in Saint-Denis. The electrical factory illustrated here is the one built by the Société d'Électrcité de Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, located in Saint-Denis near the Quai de Seine. This modern installation for its time symbolizes industrial progress and the evolution of energy infrastructure at the turn of the century. It also reflects technological advances and the increasing electrification of cities in Europe during this period. The accompanying article delves into the technical and contextual details relating to this power plant, providing valuable historical insight for industrial history buffs and those interested in urban development in the early 20th century.
