EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases the picturesque banks of the Seine and the iconic Notre Dame de Paris. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this historic scene, transporting viewers back in time to a bygone era. The image portrays a street scene bustling with activity, revealing glimpses into everyday life along the river. The architecture of Paris is on full display, showcasing its grandeur and charm. However, amidst this beauty lies a stark contrast - hints of poverty and hardship can be seen in homemade dwellings and pauper-like figures scattered throughout. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as they masterfully depict textures like linen hanging out to dry against dilapidated buildings. This engraving not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers valuable insights into social conditions during that period. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical print to life once again. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate the intricate details and nuances captured by the original lithographer. This photograph preserves an important piece of French history while allowing us to reflect on how much has changed since then. As part of a private collection, this artwork holds immense value for art enthusiasts and historians alike. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it stands as a testament to both artistic talent and our ever-evolving society.
