EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The thermal establishments of Vichy" we are transported back in time to the early 1920s, immersing ourselves in the grandeur and architectural marvels of Vichy, France. The image captures a stunning view of the thermal baths, showcasing an array of arches, building elements, and intricate decorations that epitomize the elegance and sophistication of this renowned destination. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are drawn to various architectural details that add depth and character to the scene. From beautifully crafted balustrades to meticulously designed pilasters, every element exudes a sense of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The windows with their ornate tympanums and stained glass panels provide glimpses into a world where luxury meets functionality. Amidst this symphony of architecture lies a statue or sculpture whose purpose remains mysterious but adds an air of intrigue to the composition. A watch or clock instrument subtly reminds us that time is ever-present even within these serene surroundings. Nature intertwines seamlessly with man-made structures as plants and vegetation gracefully adorn staircases leading towards unknown destinations. It's as if time itself has been frozen within this photograph – capturing not only a moment but also encapsulating an era long gone by. This remarkable piece was captured by Chouanard Henrie from Alinari – an artist who skillfully immortalizes historical landmarks through his lens. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but appreciate its ability to transport us back in time; allowing us to witness firsthand the beauty and opulence that once defined Vichy's thermal establishments.
