History of the Morris Columns:
The Morris Columns are emblematic elements of the French urban landscape, evoking history, culture and the art of advertising in large cities. These advertising columns take their name from Gabriel Morris, the French businessman who introduced them to Paris in the late 19th century.
Initially, the Morris Columns were vertical metal structures, often made of cast iron, erected on the streets of Paris to display advertisements and advertising posters.

Their design was innovative at the time, providing a robust medium for advertising messages in an often congested urban space.

Their cylindrical shape and imposing height made them visible from afar, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Over the decades, Morris Columns have become more than just an advertising medium.

They have become cultural symbols, associated with the Parisian urban aesthetic. Their presence in the emblematic districts of the French capital, such as Montmartre or the Latin Quarter, contributes to their timeless charm.
However, the Morris Columns have also sparked debate and controversy. Some critics questioned their aesthetics, arguing that they could sometimes disrupt the historic cityscape. In addition, their main function, advertising, has often been criticized for its impact on the visual and sound environment of cities.
Despite these controversies, the Morris Columns continue to play an important role in outdoor advertising in France. Their robust structure and visibility make them a popular choice for advertisers looking to reach a large audience in urban areas.

Today, many Morris Columns have been modernized, incorporating digital billboards and advanced display technologies, while preserving their historic charm.
At the end of the day, Morris Columns are much more than just an advertising medium.

They bear witness to the evolution of urban planning, advertising and culture in French cities. Their presence continues to arouse fascination, debate and inspiration, making them inseparable elements of the French urban landscape.
