EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the monumental construction of the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, Paris, during the late 19th century. The image showcases the dedication and craftsmanship involved in erecting this iconic basilica, designed by renowned architect Paul Abadie. Amidst a bustling urban landscape, we see a snapshot of daily life in the 18th arrondissement. A group of Parisians, both male and female, traverse cobbled streets adorned with charming shops. One merchant stands proudly outside his store selling rosaries to passersby while scaffolding looms overhead. The sheer scale of the Sacre Coeur dominates the frame as its majestic dome takes shape against an overcast sky. This Roman Byzantine-style masterpiece was a laborious endeavor that spanned nearly four decades from 1873 to 1912. The photograph not only documents architectural progress but also provides insight into social dynamics at play during this era. It portrays a vibrant cityscape where commerce intertwines with spirituality as shoppers navigate their way through this evolving neighborhood. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical print offers us a glimpse into a transformative period for both Montmartre and its inhabitants. As we admire this remarkable image captured by an anonymous French photographer from long ago, we are reminded of how art can immortalize moments that transcend time itself.
