EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the grandeur of the obelisk and fountain at Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. The artist behind this stunning image is Underwood & Underwood, known for their exceptional stereoscopic photography. The Place de la Concorde underwent a remarkable transformation in the 1830s under the guidance of Jacques Ignace Hittorf. One of his notable additions was the Fontaine des Mers, which can be seen beautifully incorporated into this square's layout. Standing tall at an impressive height of 22.83 meters and weighing a staggering 230 tons, the obelisk holds great historical significance. Originally marking the entrance to Luxor's Amon temple in Egypt, it found its new home here in Paris in 1836. As we observe this scene closely, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn carriages filled these streets with life. People can be seen going about their daily activities amidst bustling traffic and elegant architecture that surrounds them. This monochrome snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient Egyptian culture combined with French elegance. It is truly an exquisite piece that allows us to appreciate both history and artistry simultaneously.
