EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Sentier de la Vertu," or "The Path of Virtue," in the enchanting Bois de Boulogne public park of Paris, France, was a stylish and fashionable stretch of pavement that drew visitors from all walks of life during the early 1910s. This photograph, taken during that era, showcases an assortment of Parisians and tourists enjoying the picturesque scene. In the foreground, a group of elegantly dressed women and men stroll along the path, their fashionable attire reflecting the latest trends of the time. A young boy, dressed in a sailor suit, gazes up at them with curiosity, while a child in a pram is pushed by a nanny. In the background, a rider on horseback can be seen riding along the path, adding to the scenic beauty of the moment. The arrival of the automobile is also evident in this photograph, with a few early motor cars making their way along the winding roads of the park. Despite the emergence of motor transport, the charm of the Path of Virtue remained unchanged, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city of Paris. This photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to a bygone era when weekends were spent socializing and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. The historical significance of this image lies in its ability to showcase the evolution of transportation and fashion during the early 1910s, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Parisian or French history.
