EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Reproduction of the Old Bastille of 1789" takes us back to the 18th century, depicting a significant historical landmark in France. Created by Victor-Armand Poirson in 1888, this illustration was featured in The Graphic, an illustrious weekly newspaper during that era. The image showcases the imposing fortress-like structure known as the Bastille, which played a pivotal role during the French Revolution. Standing tall amidst its surroundings, it symbolizes rebellion and resistance against oppressive rule. A group of men and women can be seen gathered around the building, perhaps discussing their plans for change or reflecting on past events. Poirson's attention to detail is evident through his intricate depiction of both affluent individuals and those living in poverty. The presence of a palanquin suggests wealth and luxury while litter scattered on the road signifies destitution. This stark contrast highlights societal disparities prevalent at that time. Transportation methods such as sedan chairs further emphasize the period's transportation practices. The artist skillfully captures not only architectural elements but also social dynamics within this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this remarkable reproduction today, we are transported back to an era filled with turmoil and fervor for change. Poirson's work serves as a reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect upon how far society has come since then.
