EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the River Seine in Paris, France, during the 1900s. The Gothic masterpiece of Notre-Dame, with its iconic spire and intricate details, stands proudly on the right bank of the river. The waters of the Seine, shimmering under the sun, reflect the beauty of the cathedral and the surrounding architecture. On the left bank of the river, barrels filled with Chocolat Menier are being transported along the quay. Menier Chocolat was a popular French chocolate brand in the early 20th century, and the sight of these barrels being moved by boat would have been a common one. In the foreground, a man carrying a harp and a bundle of items ascends the steps leading to the Quai de Montebello, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The bridge in the background, with its arches and intricate details, further enhances the charm of the photograph. The Morgue, or the Paris City Mortuary, can be seen in the background, a stark reminder of the contrasting realities of life and death that coexisted in the bustling city of Paris. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the beauty of the city was intertwined with the everyday activities of its people.
