EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the magnificent Monument to Alexandre Dumas Pere, a stunning blend of stone and bronze created in 1883. The monument stands proudly in Place Malesherbes, Paris, France, serving as a lasting tribute to the renowned French writer and author. Alexandre Davy de La Pailleterie, better known as Alexandre Dumas Pere (1802-70), was an influential figure in literature. As a novelist, playwright, and author of famous works like "The Three Musketeers" and "Les Trois Mousquetaires" he left an indelible mark on French literary history. In this black-and-white photograph by Gustave Dore (1832-83), we see the seated statue of Dumas surrounded by readers engrossed in his books. The sculpture not only commemorates his literary achievements but also symbolizes the impact his writings had on different social classes. The image showcases the diversity among those captivated by Dumas' words – from workers to members of the middle class bourgeoisie. It highlights how literature transcends societal boundaries and unites people through shared stories and imagination. This edition Giraudon late 19th-century photograph offers us a glimpse into historical Parisian life while paying homage to one of its most celebrated literary figures. With its intricate details captured for eternity, this print serves as a timeless reminder of both artistic brilliance and cultural significance.
