EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken on November 10,1960, in Rue Raumur, Paris, a street vendor offers an unsuspecting motorist the France-Soir newspaper with the shocking headline announcing the death of General Charles de Gaulle. The image captures a moment frozen in time when news of one of France's most iconic leaders spread through the bustling streets. The significance of this photograph is further enhanced by the juxtaposition it presents. On one hand, we have a seller going about his daily routine, unaware that he holds history in his hands – news that will undoubtedly shake the nation. On the other hand, we see an automobilist who is yet to discover what lies behind those headlines; their expression remains hidden from view. Fast forward forty years later to November 9th, 2000 – another significant date for De Gaulle's legacy. This time it marks the inauguration of his first statue in Paris on Rue Raumur as a tribute to commemorate thirty years since his passing. A testament to how deeply ingrained De Gaulle's impact was on French society. This powerful image serves as a reminder not only of De Gaulle's profound influence but also highlights how media can shape our perception and understanding of historical events. It encapsulates both fleeting moments and lasting legacies within its horizontal frame - forever etching itself into our collective memory.
