This stunning photographic ode to one of the world's most beloved
treasures pays tribute to Notre-Dame--its place in history and in
culture, and its rebirth--in the wake of the tragic fire that
nearly destroyed it. With its spectacular rose windows, majestic
spire, soaring vaults, twin bell towers, and massive pipe organ,
the gothic cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris has long stood as a symbol
of that city--people openly wept as fire swept through the iconic
building in April 2019, which sustained colossal damage. In
stunning photographs, this volume celebrates Notre-Dame through the
ages: its beginnings in 1160 and construction during the Middle
Ages; its survival through the French Revolution and two World
Wars; its coronations (including Napoleon's), royal weddings, and
presidential funerals; its resurgence after the publication of
Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame; its magnificent
relics and artwork; its portrayal by artists through time; and,
finally, its recent near-destruction . . . and the miraculous
efforts to save it, and restore it to its former glory and beyond.
