EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, during the 1910s. The image showcases two mesmerizing grotesques, or decorative sculptures, that once adorned the cathedral's masonry. On the left, we encounter Black Peter, a notorious stone gargoyle who has been keeping watch over Parisian children for centuries. With his mischievous grin and menacing appearance, Black Peter is a beloved figure among locals, who believe that he sternly observes naughty children. Turning our gaze to the right, we are greeted by a fantastical chimera, a mythical creature that embodies the grotesque and the beautiful. This magnificent beast is depicted with the eagle's beak and wings, symbolizing the power and grace of the heavens. Chimeras were believed to be watchers, guardians of the ancient world, and their presence at Notre Dame adds to the cathedral's rich history and mystique. The intricate details of the stonework and the play of light and shadow in this photograph transport us to a time when the world was filled with wonder and magic. The grotesques of Notre Dame Cathedral serve as a reminder of the importance of embracing the strange and the beautiful in our lives, and of the enduring allure of the medieval world.
