EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the German occupation of Paris in 1940. The image showcases sandbags meticulously piled up around the base of the majestic Egyptian obelisk, standing tall in defiance against the backdrop of war. The obelisk, an ancient symbol of power and strength, is now transformed into a symbol of protection. Men can be seen carefully arranging sandbags, their determined faces illuminated by lampposts that dot the square. They work diligently to safeguard this historical monument from potential harm caused by conflict. The scene evokes a sense of resilience and unity as these individuals come together to protect their city's heritage amidst chaos. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, humanity strives to preserve its cultural treasures. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful image, emphasizing both the stark reality of war and the timeless beauty of ancient architecture. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era when Parisians fought not only for their country but also for their rich history. This photograph stands as a testament to human determination and serves as a poignant reminder that art transcends boundaries imposed by conflict or occupation.
