EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of Le Carrefour Gozlin, which is currently known as Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. The image takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a moment frozen in time by an anonymous French photographer. The location where this bustling intersection stands today was once occupied by the infamous prison de l'Abbaye. This fact adds a layer of intrigue and nostalgia to the photograph, reminding us of the rich history that lies beneath modern-day Paris. The composition evokes a sense of early morning tranquility with empty streets awaiting the hustle and bustle of daily life. It invites viewers to imagine what it must have been like during that era - horse-drawn carriages passing through, people going about their daily routines, and perhaps even prisoners being transported to or from the prison. This image was featured as an illustration for "Paris Tel Qu'il Fut" (Tell, 1951), providing readers with a glimpse into how this particular area has transformed over time. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as both a testament to our shared past and an ode to French culture. As we admire this piece captured by mzphoto from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but feel connected to France's vibrant history while appreciating its timeless beauty.
