EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, bathed in the soft glow of night. Dating back to the late 1800s, the Arc de Triomphe is a triumphal arch dedicated to the soldiers who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The monument's intricate carvings and inscriptions are illuminated by the warm light of the gas lamps that line the avenue, casting long, dramatic shadows on the pavement below. In this image, captured circa 1930s, the Arc de Triomphe is not only a symbol of French history and military might, but also a beacon of light in the darkened Parisian night. The headlights of passing cars create streaks of motion and movement in the long exposure, adding to the atmospheric and dynamic scene. The illumination of the arch and the surrounding streets creates a sense of magic and wonder, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The Arc de Triomphe, with its grandeur and historic significance, has long been a must-see destination for travelers from around the world. This photograph offers a unique perspective on this iconic landmark, showcasing its beauty and allure in the stillness of the night.
