EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-003437-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Paris. The image beautifully captures the majestic backside of the world-renowned Notre Dame Cathedral, a true architectural masterpiece. Taken around 1880, this photograph showcases the cathedral's intricate arches, building elements, and exquisite decorative details. The towering spires rise high into the sky, creating an awe-inspiring sight that has captivated visitors for centuries. The bridge connecting both sides of the river Seine adds a touch of charm to this already picturesque scene. The artists behind this remarkable artwork are Robert de Cotte and Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. Their collaboration brings together their expertise in architecture and design to present Notre Dame Cathedral from a unique perspective. Dating back to 1163 - 1250 with subsequent additions in 1638,1771 -1789, and finally completed in 1859 -1860 after extensive restoration work by Viollet-le-Duc himself; this cathedral holds centuries worth of history within its walls. Located in France's capital city, Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral stands as an iconic symbol not only for religious devotion but also for architectural brilliance. Its grandeur is further enhanced by the tranquil landscape surrounding it – a flowing river coursing through the heart of bustling urban life. Intriguingly captured from a large boat on waterway transport along the Seine River during an era when such scenes were common sights; this photograph evokes nostalgia for simpler times when transportation relied heavily on rivers as vital arteries connecting cities across Europe. While we may never know who exactly took this extraordinary snapshot or why they did so; one thing remains certain: it serves as a timeless reminder of Notre Dame's enduring allure and its significance within French culture and history.
