EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Revolution of 1848. The image showcases the iconic Place de la Bastille in Paris, with its grand July column towering over the scene. In the foreground stands an intriguing sight - an elephant made entirely out of plaster. The engraving, created around 1840-1848 by a French artist from the Decorative Arts school, beautifully depicts the architectural marvels of Paris during this tumultuous period. The intricate carvings on the buildings showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The presence of both the July column and the elephant symbolizes contrasting elements within society at that time. The column represents power and authority, while elephants often signify strength and wisdom. This juxtaposition suggests a struggle between tradition and progress during this revolutionary period. As we gaze upon this historic street view, we are transported back to a time when France was undergoing immense social change. The Revolution of 1848 marked a turning point in French history, as citizens fought for their rights and demanded political reform. This print serves as a reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those turbulent times. It is a testament to human resilience and our constant pursuit for freedom and equality.
