EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting streets of Paris in 1878. The image showcases the iconic Canal Saint Martin as it gracefully passes under the eastern part of the city, revealing a hidden world beneath its bustling surface. The lithograph captures the essence of this waterway, which has long been an integral part of Parisian life. A series of boats and barges navigate through the underground tunnel, guided by skilled male workers who tirelessly tow them along. The scene is brought to life by the presence of these hardworking individuals, their figures blending seamlessly with the picturesque surroundings. A tow path meanders alongside the canal, providing a pathway for pedestrians to stroll leisurely while admiring this remarkable feat of engineering. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of France's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to its waterways. This extraordinary photograph is part of a private collection that preserves glimpses into our past. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship during an era when photography was still in its infancy. Through this stunning visual narrative captured by Rev. Samuel G. Green over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Paris' most treasured landmarks - Canal Saint Martin - forever etched into history's memory.
