EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Magic City, Paris" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Sent as a postcard on the 19th of July, 1913, it captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases a bustling fairground with an array of thrilling attractions. At the center of attention is a helter-skelter toboggan ride that seems to defy gravity. A daring female rider can be seen descending down its spiraling structure, her face filled with exhilaration. Nearby, a male rider eagerly awaits his turn, anticipation written all over his expression. The significance of this photograph extends beyond mere amusement park entertainment. It serves as a testament to the power of communication through postal service during that period. Stamped and riding alongside other mail items, this postcard was entrusted to deliver memories across borders. The French postage stamp adorning the card reflects not only its origin but also highlights France's rich culture and history. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to Paris - known for its beauty and romance. Preserved within private collections for decades before being shared with us today through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this photograph offers us an intimate glimpse into life in early 20th-century France. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers worldwide while reminding us of the enduring power of photography as an art form.
