EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in French history - the transportation of the Bartholdi Statue of Vercingetorix to the Grand Palais of the Champs Elysees. The image showcases an English photographer's skill in capturing this significant occasion. The photo depicts a Gallic hero proudly seated on an automobile, which serves as a conveyance for the magnificent statue. The statue itself represents Vercingetorix, a legendary figure from ancient Gaul who led his people against Roman conquest. This powerful symbol of resistance and bravery is being transported to its new home at the Grand Palais, located on one of Paris' most iconic avenues, the Champs Elysees. The scene exudes grandeur and historical significance as it captures both military and cultural elements. Motor vehicles were still relatively new at that time, adding another layer of modernity to this historic event. The image provides viewers with a glimpse into early 20th-century France and its rich heritage. This photograph is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistry behind photography but also France's proud history and culture as represented by this monumental statue and its journey through Parisian streets over a century ago.
