EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the Cemetery of Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre, located in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, between 1865 and 1875. The cemetery, which dates back to the 11th century, is the oldest in Paris and is situated at the foot of the Montmartre hill, overlooking the city. The image, taken around 1870, showcases the picturesque landscape of the cemetery, with its winding paths, ancient gravestones, and lush greenery. The gravestones, adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, bear testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this historic site. The trees and plants, bathed in soft light, add a sense of tranquility and beauty to the scene. The Cemetery of Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre is an important part of Paris's religious and historical landscape, and has been a source of inspiration for artists and writers throughout the centuries. The cemetery is home to the tomb of the famous writer, Victor Noir, whose death in a duel in 1870 led to the establishment of the annual Fête de la Liberté (Festival of Liberty) in his honor. This photograph, taken from the collection of the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the passage of time, the cycle of life and death, and the enduring power of tradition and heritage.
