EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris. Captured by an anonymous French photographer, this stereoscopic view of Place de la Bastille during the ham fair in c. 1860 offers a glimpse into the vibrant urban life of that era. The image showcases a lively crowd gathered around merchants' stalls, their faces filled with anticipation as they peruse the wares on display. The three-dimensional effect adds depth and realism to the scene, making it feel almost tangible despite its age. In the center stands a majestic column, serving as both a focal point and a symbol of power during Napoleon's reign. Surrounding it are various merchant booths offering an array of goods, but it is undoubtedly La Foire aux Jambons (the ham fair) that steals the show. The aroma of cured meats fills the air as vendors proudly present their finest hams for sale. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also provides insight into Parisian trade and commerce during the Second Empire period. It serves as a testament to photography's ability to freeze history in its tracks, allowing us to appreciate and understand our past through visual storytelling. Now preserved within private collections, this remarkable photograph continues to captivate viewers with its rich details and historical significance.
