EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Parisian Boulevard, 1880" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the Belle Époque era. The scene is alive with energy and activity as pedestrians fill the boulevard, creating a lively and crowded atmosphere. Men donning top hats can be seen strolling alongside fashionable women, their presence adding an air of sophistication to the street scene. Amidst this urban commotion, one woman stands out from the crowd - she confidently leans against a lamppost while elegantly smoking a cigarette. Her nonchalant demeanor challenges societal norms of the time and showcases her independence and modernity. This image captures not only a snapshot of daily life but also serves as a reflection of social history. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jean Louis Forain (1852-1931), whose skillful use of watercolor on paper brings vibrancy and depth to every brushstroke. Through his artistry, Forain transports us to an era where rowdy conversations filled café terraces and laughter echoed through cobblestone streets. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France, this print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Parisian life over a century ago. It is truly remarkable how such an old photograph can still evoke feelings of excitement and curiosity about our shared past.
