EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Hotel d Alsace, a historic hotel located in the 6eme district of Paris. The renowned French photographer from the 19th century beautifully immortalized this iconic exterior, which holds great significance as it was where Oscar Wilde took his last breath in 1900. Legend has it that as Wilde faced his final moments, he uttered profound words that have since become etched into history: "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go". These poignant parting words reflect both Wilde's wit and his struggle with personal demons during his time at the hotel. The image provides a glimpse into late 19th-century Parisian life, showcasing street urchins roaming around outside this grand establishment. It serves as a visual testament to an era long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the allure and charm of one of France's most beloved cities. This stunning piece of art evokes nostalgia for an era when hotels like Hotel d Alsace were bustling hubs filled with stories waiting to unfold. Bridgeman Images brings us yet another remarkable piece from their extensive collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind capturing such moments and our shared human history through photography.
