EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Arc de Triomphe and Place de l'Etoile in Paris, France during the early 20th century. Designed by Jean Chalgrin in the Neoclassical style, this magnificent archway pays homage to the grandeur of Ancient Rome's monumental architecture. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte himself in 1806 to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, it took several decades for its completion, finally being finished in the 1830s. The image showcases a bustling cityscape with cars from the twenties gracefully navigating through traffic on this historic square. The architectural features of both the Arc de Triomphe and surrounding buildings stand as a testament to French elegance and sophistication. This monochrome postcard-like photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As one gazes upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel transported back to a period when horse-drawn carriages shared these same roads with early automobiles. The presence of such an esteemed monument against a backdrop of urban life serves as a reminder that history lives on amidst progress and modernity. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Paris but also its rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
