EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Paris in 1890. The image showcases the Church and Tower of the Temple, a medieval fortress located in Quartier du Temple, Marais. Built by the Knights Templar during the 13th century, this architectural marvel later served as a prison during the tumultuous French Revolution. The photograph is an engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. It beautifully captures the historic significance of this location while providing a glimpse into its grandeur. Intriguingly framed against a backdrop of people going about their day amidst horse-drawn carts on cobblestone streets, it transports us to another era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this remarkable scene. The Church and Tower stand tall as symbols of Christianity's influence throughout history. Their presence evokes feelings of awe and reverence for those who appreciate both religious heritage and architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon this print with admiration for its artistic composition, we are reminded that even centuries-old structures can continue to captivate our imagination today. This print serves as a testament to how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with our past while appreciating its beauty in the present moment.
