EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases "The Colonne Morris" by Jean Beraud, a renowned French painter from the late 19th century. The image captures the essence of urban life in Paris during a cold winter day, with its grey weather and bustling street scene. At the center of attention stands the iconic Colonne Morris, an ornate poster kiosk that served as a prominent billboard for advertisements. Its grandeur is emphasized by its intricate design and towering presence against the backdrop of Parisian architecture. The hoarding surrounding the kiosk is adorned with various advertisements, showcasing products and events that were popular at the time. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant advertising culture that thrived in this era. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both artistry and commerce. The juxtaposition of Beraud's artistic masterpiece alongside these commercial messages creates an intriguing contrast between beauty and consumerism. This print allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era, where people walked on pavements under gloomy skies while being surrounded by visual stimuli vying for their attention. It serves as a reminder of how cities have evolved over time while still retaining elements of their rich cultural heritage.
