EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic La Samaritaine water pump on the Pont Neuf in Paris, providing a mesmerizing optical view of the 18th century. The image, captured by French School artist Leonard de Selva, takes us back in time to an era when this architectural marvel stood as a symbol of innovation and progress. The intricate details of the engraving highlight the grandeur and elegance of both the water pump and its surroundings. The Pont Neuf, known as "the new bridge" serves as a majestic backdrop for this historical masterpiece. Its arches gracefully frame the scene while reflecting centuries of history. La Samaritaine itself stands tall and proud at the center of attention. This magnificent structure not only served as a vital source of water but also became an emblematic landmark in Parisian culture. It witnessed countless stories unfold throughout its existence, becoming an integral part of everyday life for locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to a time when department stores were yet to be born, reminding us that even then commerce played a significant role in society. However, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use associated with La Samaritaine or its connection to contemporary companies bearing similar names. Leonard de Selva's photograph allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously—a testament to his skillful craftsmanship behind the lens. Through his lens, we can relish in capturing moments frozen in time forevermore.
