EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a timeless scene in the heart of Paris. The focal point of this image is none other than "The fountain of the commemorative monument to Molière" standing tall and proud amidst the bustling urban landscape. As we gaze upon this historic monument, we are immediately struck by its grandeur and elegance. The intricate details of its architecture and design are truly awe-inspiring. This magnificent structure serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of France's greatest playwrights, Molière. Surrounded by cobblestone streets and charming buildings, this fountain becomes an integral part of the cityscape. It exudes a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, inviting passersby to pause for a moment and admire its beauty. A graceful statue adorns the pinnacle of this hydraulic marvel, paying homage to Molière himself. Its presence adds depth and character to an already remarkable piece of artistry. The street lamp that stands nearby casts a warm glow on both locals strolling leisurely or rushing about their daily lives. It illuminates not only physical space but also symbolizes enlightenment brought forth by literature and culture. This photograph captures more than just an architectural masterpiece; it encapsulates history frozen in time. Taken between 1875-1880 approximately, it offers us a glimpse into life during that era – where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets while people marveled at such splendid works scattered throughout Paris. Though credited as being captured by an unidentified author from Alinari, let us appreciate how they have immortalized this extraordinary sight for generations to come.
