EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1904, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris around the Porte Saint-Martin. The image showcases the iconic gateway, which marks the boundary of the old city and stands as a testament to its rich history. The Porte Saint-Martin, an elegant and ornate archway, has been a landmark of Paris for centuries. As we gaze at the photograph, we can't help but notice the striking similarities between the past and the present. The heavy traffic on Les Grands Boulevards, a major thoroughfare in Paris, is just as congested a century later. The vehicles, although different in make and model, fill the streets with a sense of energy and movement. The Porte Saint-Martin, with its intricate carvings and grandeur, stands proudly amidst the chaos, a beacon of Parisian history and culture. The old city, with its narrow streets and historic architecture, gives way to the modern city beyond the gate, a perfect blend of the old and the new. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of Paris and its ability to adapt and thrive through the passage of time. The Porte Saint-Martin continues to be a symbol of Parisian pride and a must-see destination for visitors from around the world.
