EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fire of the Hotel de Ville de Paris on 24 May 1871" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this print captures the chaos and destruction that unfolded during the Commune of Paris. The image showcases the grand Hotel de Ville engulfed in flames, its towering spires silhouetted against a darkened sky. The fire's intensity is palpable as smoke billows out from every window and crevice. The Seine River flows calmly nearby, reflecting both the fiery spectacle and the city's somber mood. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time of revolution and upheaval. The Commune of Paris was a period marked by political unrest and social tension. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of those turbulent days when citizens fought for their rights and ideals. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical artwork to life once again. With each brushstroke captured with precision, we can appreciate not only the skill of the original artist but also De Selva's ability to preserve such an important piece of our collective memory. This print invites us to reflect on our past while reminding us that history has shaped our present reality. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and serves as a powerful symbol of hope for future generations.
