EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Paris's Champ de Mars, as seen through the lens of the late 19th century. The Ecole Militaire, a historic military academy, stands proudly in the background, its imposing facade a testament to the military might and tradition of France. Circa 1856, the Champ de Mars played host to a parade of soldiers under the command of Napoleon III. Yet, the scene before us reveals a striking contrast between the grand spectacle and the seemingly disinterested onlookers. The soldiers, dressed in their resplendent uniforms, march with disciplined precision, their faces set in determined expressions. In sharp contrast, the crowd that has gathered to witness the parade appears to be largely indifferent, some even turning their backs or engaging in conversation, seemingly more interested in their own affairs than the military display before them. The Champ de Mars has been the site of many significant events in French history, from military parades and ceremonies to political protests and public gatherings. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the reasons behind the apparent disinterest of the onlookers and the enduring allure of the Champ de Mars as a symbol of French history and tradition. This photograph, depicting the Champ de Mars and the Ecole Militaire in Paris during a parade of Napoleon III's soldiery, circa 1856, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and complexities of the French capital. The image, held in the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, invites us to explore the stories and intrigues that lie hidden beneath the surface of this iconic scene.
