EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Course of the Bievre in Paris with Tanneries, 1858-78" takes us back to a bygone era in the heart of the French capital. Captured by Charles Marville between 1858 and 1878, this image showcases the bustling streets of Paris's 5th arrondissement. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant urban life that once thrived along the banks of the Bievre River. In this particular scene, we witness an intricate network of canals interwoven with workshops and tanneries. The waterway served as a vital source for these labor-intensive industries, where workers diligently carried out their tasks. Marville's lens transports us to a time when craftsmanship was at its peak. We catch sight of skilled labourers engrossed in their work within these tanneries - perhaps dyeing leather or meticulously crafting fine goods. Their dedication is palpable even through this monochromatic medium. As we immerse ourselves in this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that Marville intended to document not only Parisian streets but also capture moments frozen in time. This photograph serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his commitment to preserving snippets of history for future generations. Displayed proudly at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, this remarkable piece invites viewers on an evocative journey through Paris's past – reminding us all how cities evolve over time while
