EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Electric Lighting, Paris: The wonder of electric street lighting comes to the place du Carrousel, by the Louvre," transports us back in time to 1882, when the magical world of electric street lighting first graced the streets of Paris. The image, captured by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the place du Carrousel, situated in the heart of the city, adjacent to the iconic Louvre Museum. The photograph presents a striking contrast between the historical grandeur of the location and the modern marvel of electric lighting. Gas lamps, which had long illuminated the streets of Paris, were gradually being replaced by the more efficient and innovative electric bulbs. The new lighting system, a symbol of progress and modernization, is evident in the photograph with its bright, uniform glow. The place du Carrousel, with its intricate cobblestone patterns and elegant architecture, is beautifully lit up by the electric bulbs, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The Louvre Museum, a testament to the rich history of Paris, stands proudly in the background, its facade bathed in the gentle, ethereal glow of the new lighting. This photograph is not only a historical record of a significant moment in Parisian history but also a visual representation of the city's transformation from the traditional to the modern. The electric lighting not only brought practical benefits but also added a new dimension to the city's charm and allure, making it an essential part of Parisian life. This image serves as a reminder of the awe and wonder that electric street lighting brought to the people of Paris over a century ago, and continues to inspire and captivate us today.
