EDITORS COMMENTS
This color slide presents a stunning image of the Bronze Fountain from the Paris Exhibition of 1889, also known as the Exposition Universelle. The exhibition, held in Paris, France, marked the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and took place from May 6 to October 31, 1889. This late 19th-century trade fair was a significant cultural and architectural innovation, showcasing the latest advancements in technology and design from around the world. The Bronze Fountain, depicted in this slide (Box 198, Slide number 15, Boswell Collection), is a breathtaking work of art. The fountain is shaped as a woman gracefully seated on a chariot, pulled by four powerful horses. The intricate details of the woman's flowing robes and the muscular forms of the horses are beautifully captured in bronze. The fountain's summer setting adds to its serene and idyllic atmosphere. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 was a pivotal moment in history, marking the end of the late 19th century and the beginning of a new era. This slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of innovation, creativity, and international collaboration. The Exposition Universelle remains an important chapter in the history of world's fairs and a testament to the enduring power of human ingenuity and artistic expression.
