EDITORS COMMENTS
The Keys of the Bastille: Unlocking History's Secrets". This print showcases "The Keys of the Bastille" an engraving by an English School artist from the 19th century. The image captures a momentous historical event, depicting the keys to one of France's most infamous prisons. The fine craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this print, as each key is meticulously depicted with its own unique characteristics. Ranging from the smallest to the largest, these keys symbolize power and control over lives held captive within the walls of Bastille. These heavy, rusty relics tell a story that spans centuries. They were once wielded by Hugues Aubriot, Provost of Paris during medieval times when he was tasked with guarding this formidable fortress. The weightiness and worn appearance speak volumes about their long history. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear echoes from within those ancient rooms and towers where countless souls suffered or dreamed of freedom. The bastion known as Porte St Antoine stands tall in defiance against time itself. Through this photo print, we are reminded that history holds both treasures and tragedies locked away within its grasp. It serves as a reminder that even though physical structures may crumble over time, their stories continue to captivate our imagination and shape our understanding of humanity's past.
