The album "Salutari din Bucuresci" invites us in an imaginary journey in the ideal time of the "Belle Époque" period through vintage chromolithographs, true testimonies of a fragrant era: postcards depicting gardens, parks, monuments and important buildings of the Capital (some interesting and from the perspective of past / present parallelism), musical scores, programs of plays, posters, advertisements, product or fashion catalogs, diplomas, bank shares or bonds, invoices, banknotes, stamps - all beautifully decorated and illustrated in the artistic spirit of those times. The very elaborate drawings, the quality paper and the impressive attention to detail turn these documents into real works of art. In addition, the imagistic reconstruction of Little Paris is completed by some explanations of the author that contain key elements of that period.
"Our greetings come from a city of evocation, located in an ideal time. I come from the need to share the most beautiful era of a place, discovered and documented out of passion for its history. "
Recognized collector of historical documents, curator and organizer of exhibitions and cultural events, author of several albums on the history of Bucharest, Sorin Margarit takes us on a new walk imbued with the refined scent of the past: "Bucharest Belle Époque". The years of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were years of optimism and emancipation, shaping a period almost unparalleled in universal history. Bucharest also felt the pulse of the times: surrounded by the impulses of artistic creation and scientific curiosity, seduced by the euphoria of travel and elegantly dressed in quality fabrics, the city shines, showing its "most beautiful facet".
