EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Feast of the National Guard at the Champ de Mars, May 22,1831" takes us back to a significant moment in French history. The image showcases an impressive gathering of people at the iconic March Field in Paris. Transport vehicles line up on one side, ready to serve their purpose during this grand event. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the French National Guard, standing tall and proud in their uniforms. Their presence symbolizes strength and unity as they come together to celebrate this historic occasion. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as everyone eagerly awaits what lies ahead. Intriguingly, amidst all the hustle and bustle, we spot a free ball suspended high above by an aerostat—an early form of air transportation that adds a touch of novelty to this already remarkable scene. It serves as a reminder that progress is always on the horizon. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every detail with his camera lens, allowing us to witness this extraordinary moment frozen in time. This artwork from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris transports us back to 19th-century France when tradition met innovation. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let's appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting an important chapter in French culture and heritage.
