EDITORS COMMENTS
The Paris Gargoyle, also known as Black Peter, stands tall and imposing atop the Notre Dame Cathedral, 250 feet above the bustling streets of Paris. This stone demon has been watching over the city for centuries, its grotesque features serving as a warning to naughty children below. The architectural marvel of Notre Dame is enhanced by the presence of this historical figure, with its ugly yet fascinating appearance adding to the allure of the iconic building.
In this stunning photograph from the 1930s, we see Black Peter in all his glory, perched high above the ground with a watchful eye on all who pass by. The intricate details of this sculpture are captured beautifully, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such a magnificent piece.
As one of many gargoyles adorning Notre Dame, Black Peter holds a special place in Parisienne folklore. It is said that he has been keeping an eye out for mischievous children for generations, ensuring that they stay on their best behavior while exploring the city streets.
This image from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to a Paris filled with history and mystery. The looming figure of Black Peter serves as a reminder of both the beauty and darkness that can be found within these ancient buildings.
