EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a historic moment in Parisian history. The image is a print from Gustave Dore's "Album of the Siege of Paris, Rue Saint-Jacques" showcasing his incredible talent for pen and brown ink wash techniques. Measuring 16.9x23.1 cm, this artwork can be found at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The scene depicted is that of rue Saint Jacques during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), specifically during the siege of Paris. The street appears empty, devoid of its usual hustle and bustle, as if frozen in time amidst turmoil. The dilapidated buildings with their worn facades tell stories untold, while an advertisement for a grocery shop stands out against the backdrop. Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; one can almost feel the weightiness of each pencil mark on paper. This drawing serves as both a report and study of urban life during this tumultuous period in French history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a bygone era when conflict ravaged these very streets. It reminds us not only of our shared human experiences but also highlights art's ability to capture moments that would otherwise fade into oblivion.
