EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white panorama, captured by the skilled lens of Hippolyte Blancard in 1871, offers a breathtaking view of the Hotel de Ville in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The Hotel de Ville, or Town Hall, is a historic institution and a symbol of Parisian civic pride. In this image, we see the building in all its grandeur, standing proudly on the right bank of the River Seine. However, the tranquility of the scene is disrupted by the aftermath of the Paris Commune, a revolutionary period that saw the city engulfed in turmoil and chaos. The smoke rising from the distant buildings is a stark reminder of the devastating fire that ravaged the city during this time. The Hotel de Ville, like many other Parisian landmarks, suffered significant damage during the Commune. The fire that broke out on May 23, 1871, consumed much of the building, leaving only the facade and the clock tower intact. This panorama, a platinum print, captures the building in its damaged state, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Parisian history. This image is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, which holds an extensive collection of art and historical objects related to the history of Paris. The museum, located in the Marais district, is a must-visit for anyone interested in the rich heritage of the city. This panorama, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the past, allowing us to appreciate the resilience of Paris and its iconic landmarks in the face of adversity.
