EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Place de la Bastille in Paris, France, circa 1905. At the heart of the roundabout stands The July Column, a monument commemorating the July Revolution of 1830 that led to the overthrow of King Charles X. The column is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, including the figure of Eros, the god of love, at its pinnacle. The bustling scene around the column showcases the vibrant energy of Parisian life at the turn of the century. Horse-drawn carriages and buses line the streets, their passengers gazing out at the monument with a sense of pride and awe. The column serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the revolutionary spirit that continues to shape it. The July Column, also known as the Monument to the Glory of the French Revolution of 1830, was designed by architects Jacques Hittorff and Jean-Baptiste Lassus and was inaugurated on July 14, 1889, in time for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held in Paris that year. The monument is a testament to the enduring legacy of the French Revolution and the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity that it represents. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to experience the sights and sounds of Paris over a century ago. The July Column remains a cherished landmark and a symbol of the city's resilience and determination, inspiring generations of Parisians and visitors alike.
