EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1740, providing a glimpse into the infamous La Bastille prison in Paris. The image is part of the collection "Paris à travers les âges" and was captured by an unknown artist during the late 19th century. Displayed in a private collection, this historical engraving showcases the architectural marvel that once stood as a symbol of power and oppression. La Bastille, with its towering walls and imposing structure, looms over the cityscape of Paris. Its significance in French history cannot be overstated; it served as both a fortress and a state prison for centuries. This particular view offers insight into what life may have been like within those formidable walls during one specific era. The composition skillfully captures the essence of 18th-century France, transporting viewers to a time when revolution brewed beneath its surface. The intricate details of this engraving allow us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the somber atmosphere surrounding La Bastille. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this piece of history for generations to come. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both the dark past that unfolded within these walls and how far society has progressed since then. It serves as an important reminder that even structures built on fear can eventually crumble under humanity's relentless pursuit of freedom and justice.
