EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris, France, during the late 1800s. The Esplanade des Invalides, a historic square located in the heart of the city, is named after the Hôtel des Invalides, a large complex that houses museums and monuments, including the Musée de l'Armée and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In this photograph, taken possibly in the 1860s, we see the grandeur of the Esplanade des Invalides in its full splendor. The meticulously manicured gardens are adorned with lush greenery, and the intricately designed fountains add a touch of elegance to the scene. The majestic buildings in the background, including the Hôtel des Invalides and the Church of Saint-Louis des Invalides, stand proudly against the clear blue sky. The image also captures the essence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras with the inclusion of a couple in traditional attire, strolling along the esplanade. They appear to be admiring the view, perhaps with a lantern in hand, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The use of a lantern could suggest an evening stroll or an exploration of the historic site after dark. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris during the 1800s.
