EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Eclipse in Paris" transports us back to the late 19th century streets of the enchanting French capital. Taken by renowned French photographer Leonard de Selva, this print captures a rare celestial event that mesmerized both locals and visitors alike. The image showcases a bustling street scene with elegant Parisian buildings lining the backdrop. The sun, partially obscured by the moon during an eclipse, casts an ethereal glow over the cityscape. The interplay between light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere as people pause in awe to witness this extraordinary phenomenon. Selva's mastery of photography is evident in his ability to capture not only the astronomical spectacle but also the essence of Paris itself. This snapshot serves as a testament to his skillful composition and technical prowess. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from our present-day vantage point, it reminds us of how far we have come in understanding our universe while also evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. It invites us to reflect on humanity's enduring fascination with both artistry and science, forever intertwined like threads woven into the fabric of history. This exquisite print from Coll. Selva offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in a moment frozen in time - an eclipse that momentarily united Parisians under its celestial spell centuries ago.
