EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing captures the essence of Parisian life in the early 20th century, with people of all ages and walks of life strolling along the pavement, their shadows cast long on the cobblestones. At the heart of the scene, the grand entrance to the Pantheon beckons, an architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time. The Pantheon, a monument and mausoleum located in the heart of Paris, France, was built between 1758 and 1790, under the reign of King Louis XV. Despite neither the monarch nor the intended architect, Jacques-Germain Soufflot, living to see its completion, the edifice was eventually finished and consecrated as a church dedicated to Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. The Pantheon's design is a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture, with its distinctive dome and intricate details. This drawing, created circa 1914, captures the monument in all its glory, with its warm, inviting colors and intricate details. This image is taken from the August volume of the prestigious magazine, "March of the Women," published by Bertram Mason and Knight Eaton (not the company). The magazine, which focused on social and political issues, was known for its high-quality illustrations and thought-provoking articles. This particular drawing is a testament to the magazine's commitment to showcasing the beauty and rich history of Paris and its landmarks.
