EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the heart of Paris in the year 1840. The iconic Champs Elysees, a grand boulevard renowned for its beauty and elegance, stretches out before us, leading to the Arc de Triomphe in the distance. The Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military history and national pride, stands proudly with its ornate columns and intricate carvings, framing a breathtaking view of the city. In the foreground, the old barrieres come into focus, restricting trade in and out of the city. These imposing structures, a common sight during the 19th century, served as a means of controlling the flow of goods and people entering and exiting Paris. The Palais des Tuileries, a historic palace and gardens, can be seen in the distance, adding to the grandeur of the scene. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Paris, showcasing the city's rich past and the evolution of its urban landscape. The Champs Elysees, which today is known for its luxury shops and cafes, was once a bustling thoroughfare with a distinct character of its own. The old barrieres, now long gone, were an integral part of Parisian life, shaping the city's commerce and culture. This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for history buffs, Paris enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the evolution of urban landscapes. It provides a fascinating insight into the history of Paris and the Champs Elysees, offering a captivating glimpse into the past.
