EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Works for the construction of metro line 1" takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1898. Captured by French photographer Leonard de Selva, this rare print showcases a pivotal moment in the city's history - the construction of its first-ever metro line. The image transports us to a vibrant construction site where workers are diligently laying down tracks for this groundbreaking transportation system. The scene is filled with an air of excitement and anticipation as Parisians eagerly await the completion of their new mode of public transport. De Selva's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grand scale of this project but also the intricate craftsmanship involved. From towering cranes to laborers meticulously aligning rails, every element within this frame speaks volumes about both human ingenuity and determination. As we delve into each corner of this photograph, we are reminded that it represents more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it symbolizes progress, innovation, and urban development. It serves as a testament to France's commitment towards modernization during the late 19th century. Now preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to witness firsthand how one man's vision transformed an entire cityscape forever.
