EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases Paris, France's iconic landmark, La Colonne de Juillet (July Column) standing proudly in Place de la Bastille. The monumental column, a tribute to the Revolution of 1830, was built between 1835 and 1840, marking a significant moment in French history. The column, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, reaches towards the sky, symbolizing the triumph of the people over the monarchy. In the foreground, a horse-drawn omnibus (bus) adds a touch of the bustling city life to the scene. The three glorious days of July 1830, known as the "Trois Glorieuses," led to the end of the Bourbon monarchy and the rise of the July Monarchy under King Louis-Philippe. This period brought about numerous reforms, including the expansion of Paris and the improvement of public transportation, such as the omnibus. The Place de la Bastille, once the site of the infamous prison, now serves as a symbol of freedom and revolution. The July Column stands as a testament to the rich history and resilience of the Parisian people, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its grandeur and significance.
