EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Rue d Alesia, from rue d Orleans, Paris, 1858-78" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century Paris. Captured by Charles Marville between 1858 and 1878, this image is part of a series that beautifully documents the transformation of Parisian streets during the Second Empire. In this particular scene, we find ourselves standing on Rue d Orleans, gazing towards Rue d Alesia. The street is still under construction, with a building site visible in the distance. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as workers diligently go about their tasks amidst piles of materials and tools scattered around. The architectural details are remarkable - ornate buildings line both sides of the street while a sturdy fence separates pedestrians from the ongoing construction work. Boarding can be seen on some structures as they undergo renovations or repairs. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Marville's keen eye for detail has captured not just a physical space but also an essence of urban life during this period. This photograph serves as a testament to his skillful use of photography to document historical moments and preserve them for future generations. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris within Musee Carnavalet, this print offers us an intriguing glimpse into the past and invites us to explore further into the rich history embedded within every corner of magnificent cities like Paris.
