EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1870, transports us back in time to the heart of Paris, France, specifically to Place de la Bastille and the iconic Colonne de Juillet. The image offers a breathtaking, inside view of the historic square, where the energy of the city is palpable. The Colonne de Juillet, also known as the July Column, stands proudly in the center of the square, a testament to France's rich history and the events that shaped it. The column, topped with a statue of the goddess of Liberty, was erected in 1834 to commemorate the victories of the French army during the Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the clatter of horse hooves and the creaking of carriage wheels on the cobblestone streets. Horses and carriages filled with passengers navigate the avenues, while an ornate carriage, pulled by a regal horse, takes center stage. In the background, an elephant, a common sight during parades and processions, adds an air of excitement and wonder. The Prieur de Sainte-Radegonde, a church located nearby, can be seen in the distance, its spire reaching for the sky. The photograph, with its intricate details and stunning composition, invites us to explore the history and culture of Paris during a time when the city was at the forefront of European innovation and change.
