EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph captures a unique glimpse into the streets of Paris in the early 1900s. In the center of the frame stands a Vespasienne, a public urinal that was once scattered throughout the city. The image showcases one of these iconic structures on the Grands Boulevards, surrounded by bustling street activity. The Vespasienne, named after Roman Emperor Vespasian, served as an essential amenity for both locals and visitors alike. Over 500 similar urinals existed in Paris until their eventual removal in the 1990s. This particular print is part of the collection held at Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris, offering us a historical perspective on sanitation practices during this time. The photographer's keen eye captures more than just an architectural element; it documents an important aspect of urban life and public convenience. The image provides insight into how society valued cleanliness and hygiene even back then. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much our cities have evolved since then. Yet, it also serves as a reminder that progress often comes with sacrifices - while modern advancements may have replaced these quaint structures with more discreet alternatives today, they remain an intriguing part of Parisian history captured forever through photography.
