EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panorama, captured between 1862 and 1872 from the Saint-Jacques tower in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, offers a unique perspective of Ile de la Cité undergoing construction. The image, held in the Carnavalet Museum, showcases the cityscape in black and white, with the River Seine meandering through the heart of Paris, dividing the island from the left bank. The iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral, a symbol of Christianity and Parisian heritage, dominates the skyline, its intricate Gothic architecture a stark contrast to the modern buildings under construction. The Hotel-Dieu hospital, another historic institution, can be seen towards the right, its red roof standing out against the grey and brown tones of the city. The panorama also reveals the progress of the city's urban development, with rooftops and towers rising from the once open land. The image serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Paris, a city that continues to captivate visitors from around the world. Taken from the vantage point of the Saint-Jacques tower, this panorama offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the evolution of Paris and its enduring allure. From the charcoal drawings of the nineteenth century to the modern-day museums, Paris's artistic and historical heritage remains a source of inspiration and education for generations to come.
