EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling traffic on Place de la Concorde in Paris back in 1869. The scene is filled with a mix of horse-drawn omnibuses and the newly introduced "chemin de fer americain" or tramway line, showcasing the evolving transportation landscape of the time. The image, taken from a protective sleeve for school books dating back to the late 19th century, is an illustration by E Letellier. It beautifully depicts tanks, cars, and tramways lining up along this iconic square. The American railway influence is evident as it introduces new modes of public transport to the streets of Paris. The Place de Concorde stands grandly in the background with its majestic obelisk towering over everything else. This street scene offers a glimpse into daily life during that era - people going about their business amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. Elegantly engraved by Stefano Bianchetti, this print showcases his artistic talent and attention to detail. It serves as a historical record capturing not only transportation advancements but also providing insight into French culture at that time. This fascinating artwork transports us back to a different era when horse-drawn carriages shared space with modern trams, creating an intriguing juxtaposition between tradition and progress.
