EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Picturesque Auvergne, showcasing a magnificent statue of Vercingetorix by Bartholdi in Clermont-Ferrand. Sent as a postcard in 1913, this image transports us back to a time when communication was cherished through handwritten notes and tangible keepsakes. The statue itself stands tall and proud, paying homage to Vercingetorix, an iconic figure from Gallic history. With its intricate details and grandeur, it serves as a powerful reminder of France's ancient past. The columns surrounding the monument add an air of historical significance, evoking images of battles fought and victories won. In the foreground, we see an equestrian statue depicting Vercingetorix on horseback. The horse exudes strength and grace, symbolizing the unity between man and animal throughout history. This juxtaposition highlights the importance of horses not only as farm animals but also as companions in war. The photographer has masterfully captured this moment in time with their keen eye for detail. Every element within the frame tells a story - from the stoic expression on Vercingetorix's face to the lush landscape that surrounds him. As we gaze upon this vintage postcard print today, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring us closer to our shared heritage. It is a testament to both French culture and European history that continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century has passed since
