EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Funicular Railway of Montmartre in Paris during the 1930s, as it stood on the brink of demolition. The Funicular, a unique blend of rail and stairway transport, was a beloved fixture on the steep hill of Montmartre, connecting the lower town with the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur and its surrounding artistic community. The image reveals the Funicular's rustic charm, with its wooden cars and iron tracks, as they wind their way up the hill against the backdrop of the stunning Church of the Sacred Heart. The church, with its white stone facade and intricate details, stands proudly against the Parisian skyline. The Funicular, which opened in 1896, was considered too slow for the growing demands of the city's transportation needs. Its demolition was a significant loss for Montmartre's residents and visitors, who cherished the quaint and authentic experience it offered. The photograph also reveals the bustling street scene below, with a tram making its way along the cobblestone road, adding to the sense of movement and energy that characterized Montmartre during this era. The steep hillside, lined with quaint houses and shops, is a testament to the charm and character of Paris in the 1930s. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when transportation was a more intimate and human experience, and the charm of Montmartre's unique character was a draw for artists, writers, and travelers from around the world.
