EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1931, offering a glimpse into the Courtyard of Saint Lazare women's prison in Paris. The renowned artist Ernest Flammarion masterfully captured this scene as an illustration for his book "Paris" published that same year. The image showcases a cobbled courtyard, its cobblestones worn with age and history. The imposing exterior of the prison building looms in the background, reminding us of the somber purpose it served. This architectural marvel stands as a symbol of both confinement and punishment. As we peer into this monochrome world frozen in time, we are transported to early 20th century France. The atmosphere is heavy with intrigue and mystery, evoking thoughts about crime and justice within this country during that era. Flammarion's artistic prowess shines through in every detail of this print. His use of black and white adds depth and contrast to the composition, enhancing our perception of light and shadow. In collaboration with The Print Collector, Flammarion brings forth not only an exquisite piece but also a historical document capturing an important location from another time. As viewers, we can't help but be drawn into its narrative; it invites us to reflect on society's past struggles while appreciating artistry at its finest.
