EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reproduction of the Old Bastille of 1789, an engraving by the English School in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and provides a glimpse into history. The Old Bastille was erected on the site of the Paris Centenary Exhibition in 1889 and was recently inaugurated by M Floquet, as depicted in this illustration for The Graphic on July 21,1888. The chairmen, entrance, escape routes, and fortifications are all meticulously detailed in this artwork. As we delve into the scene captured within this print, we can observe various elements that bring life to this historical moment. Street singers entertain passersby while a cobbler works diligently at his craft nearby. An auberge stands proudly amidst bustling activity. The presence of prisoners adds intrigue to the composition; La Garde Francaise guards them closely while La Ravaudeuse (the needlewoman) and Le Savetier (the cobbler) go about their daily lives within these fortress walls. This photograph not only transports us back to France's tumultuous past but also highlights its rich culture and heritage. It serves as a reminder of Europe's fortified history and offers insight into French society during that era. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Fine Art Finder collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and explore further.
