EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time on the Place des Pyramides, as construction workers peer down from the towering scaffolding. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the bustling scene that unfolded in early 20th century Paris. Named after Rue des Pyramides, which commemorates Napoleon's victorious Battle of the Pyramids in Egypt, this iconic location serves as a testament to France's rich history. Published in Bonaparte by Georges Montorgueil and illustrated by Job (pseudonym for Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville), this artwork showcases the fusion of art and architecture during that era. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking men who played an integral role in shaping their city. Clad in traditional clothing of the time, they stand proudly amidst their construction site, overlooking both their progress and passersby below. As we admire this aerial perspective, it is impossible not to marvel at how transportation has evolved since then. While planes soar through European skies today, back then it was still a novelty - symbolized here by an aircraft gracefully gliding above them. This print transports us back to a different era; one where laborers were revered for their craftsmanship and dedication. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and appreciation for those who built our cities brick by brick.
