EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and allure of the 1889 Paris Exhibition, specifically the Temple Stairs at Cambodge. The image transports us back in time to the Exposition Universelle, an international exhibition held in Paris to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution. The Temple Stairs at Cambodge, located at the heart of the exhibition, were a major attraction. Designed by Albert Ferrié, these ornate stairs led up to the Temple of Cambodge, which housed the Indochinese pavilion. The temple was a replica of the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia and was a testament to France's colonial power and influence in Indochina. The photograph offers a stunning view along the statue-lined avenue leading up to the temple. The avenue was adorned with intricately designed lanterns, adding to the exotic and enchanting atmosphere of the exhibition. The statues, likely representing various deities or mythological figures, further emphasized the Eastern theme of the Indochinese pavilion. The Temple Stairs at Cambodge were a symbol of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, reflecting the global interconnectedness of the late 19th century. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the grandeur and cultural significance of the Paris Exhibition of 1889, a pivotal moment in world history.
