EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich historical transformation of Paris during the late 19th century. The image, titled "Rebuilding 1868: Haussmann's Paris - The Place Saint-Germain-des-Pres Cleared to Make Way for the Rue de Rennes and the Boulevard Saint-Germain," provides a poignant reminder of the city's dynamic past. During the Second French Empire, under the leadership of Georges-Eugène Haussmann, Paris underwent a massive urban renewal project. Haussmann's vision was to modernize and beautify the city, making it more accessible and functional for its growing population. This involved the demolition of many old, cramped, and unsanitary neighborhoods, such as the one depicted in this photograph. The Place Saint-Germain-des-Pres, a historic square located in the heart of the Left Bank, was once home to numerous artists, writers, and intellectuals. However, by the late 1800s, the area had become overcrowded and in need of modernization. In 1868, the decision was made to clear the square to make way for the Rue de Rennes and the Boulevard Saint-Germain, two new thoroughfares designed to improve traffic flow and connect various parts of the city. This photograph captures the moment just before the demolition, with the square's buildings still standing but the ground already cleared. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of progress and the ever-evolving nature of urban life. The construction of these new roads would ultimately change the face of Paris, making it the iconic city we know today. This historical photograph print is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a testament to the enduring spirit of Paris and its ability to adapt and evolve over time.
