EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the effigy and tomb of Marie Antoinette in Paris. Taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was featured as an illustration for "Beautiful Paris" a book showcasing over 400 views of the city, with an introduction by J. W. Buel in 1894. The effigy and tomb of Marie Antoinette hold great historical significance, representing the life and legacy of the infamous queen. Located at the Church of St Denis, this solemn resting place serves as a reminder of her tumultuous reign during the late eighteenth century. Intriguingly dressed figures can be seen engaged in what appears to be a ball game near the tombstone. This parlour game adds an element of playfulness to an otherwise somber scene, offering a glimpse into pastimes enjoyed during that era. The photo's sepia tones evoke nostalgia for fin de siècle Europe, capturing both history and culture within its frame. It transports viewers back to nineteenth-century France when Marie Antoinette's memory still loomed large. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their fine art collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported through time to witness not only history but also moments of leisure amidst grandeur.
