EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Paris, France in 1859, showcases the Barriere de l'Ecole Militaire, a historic gateway located at the intersection of Sevres-Babylone, Grenelle, and Avenue du General Eisenhower. The Barriere de l'Ecole Militaire was built in 1670 under the orders of King Louis XIV as part of the fortifications of the city. The name of the gate derives from its proximity to the military school, l'Ecole Militaire, which was founded in 1750. In this image, we see a bustling scene of activity at the gate. Infanteers, dressed in their distinctive blue uniforms, are seen marching in formation, their rifles slung over their shoulders. Military officers, clad in red coats and white collars, stand at attention, directing the soldiers. The infantrymen move with purpose and discipline, their determined expressions reflecting their dedication to their duties. The Barriere de l'Ecole Militaire is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and shrubs lining the streets and sidewalks. The Croix Nivert, a monumental obelisk, stands tall in the background, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The low, red-tiled rooftops of the nearby buildings can be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of depth and perspective. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of military discipline and order in 19th century Paris. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that can be found in the streets and corners of this iconic city.
