EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic photograph captures the essence of Quatorze Juillet, also known as Bastille Day, in 1881. The colour lithograph by Albert Bligny showcases a lively street scene at Place de la Republique in Paris, France. The image is filled with excitement and joy as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate this significant national holiday. In the foreground, a marching band dressed in elaborate uniforms leads the parade, their instruments filling the air with music. Behind them, soldiers stand tall and proud in their military attire, adding an element of grandeur to the festivities. The streets are lined with spectators eagerly watching the procession unfold. The atmosphere is electric as flags wave high above the crowd and colorful decorations adorn buildings along the route. This image truly encapsulates the spirit of unity and patriotism that characterizes Bastille Day celebrations. Quatorze Juillet holds great historical significance for France as it commemorates both the storming of Bastille prison on July 14th, 1789 - a pivotal moment during the French Revolution - and also symbolizes modern-day values such as liberty, equality, and fraternity. This print serves not only as a visual representation of this iconic celebration but also acts as a time capsule transporting viewers back to an era where tradition met progress amidst jubilant revelry.
