EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the year 1905, a romantic couple gracefully rows a boat amidst the serene waters of the Bois de Boulogne lake in Paris. The Bois de Boulogne, a large public forest and park located on the western edge of the city, has long been a popular destination for Parisians seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The couple's tranquil moment on the lake is interrupted by the intrigued gazes of onlookers gathered along the shoreline. A vendor, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, offers an array of delicious treats, including waffles and other delectable pastries, to the curious crowd. The baker, shielded from the sun by a large parasol or umbrella, skillfully prepares the treats on a portable griddle, the savory aroma wafting through the air and drawing even more onlookers to the scene. The image is further enhanced by the presence of swans gliding gracefully across the water, adding to the idyllic and picturesque setting. The couple, dressed in their Sunday best, appear oblivious to the attention they are receiving, lost in their own world as they enjoy a leisurely boat ride on the lake. This panoramic view of the scene, taken from a distance, allows us to fully appreciate the charm and allure of a bygone era in Parisian history. The photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, where the simple pleasures of life, such as a day at the lake with a loved one, were enough to bring joy and happiness to people.
