Celebrate! The 150th anniversary of the “Wallace” fountains of Paris
In September 2022, we celebrated 150 years since the first ‘Wallace’ fountains were installed in Paris in 1872, following the devastating upheavals of the Franco-Prussian War and Commune of 1870-71. The original fountains were gifted to the city of Paris by Sir Richard Wallace. In celebration of this landmark year, the video below further explores the fascinating history of the ‘Wallace’ fountain at Hertford House.
