EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Rouen during World War I. Taken in 1917 by T Felt, Julien, it showcases the British Post Office with Boieldieus statue standing proudly in front. The setting is Normandy, France, where the streets are filled with soldiers and civilians going about their daily lives amidst the chaos of war. In this early 20th-century scene on the Western Front, a female postman can be seen wearing her uniform as she navigates through the bustling street. The image provides a fascinating insight into social history during this tumultuous period. The postcard itself belongs to a series called "Rouen in War Time/Rouen temps du guerre" specifically numbered as No. 29. It serves as both entertainment and documentation of life during World War I. With its vivid illustration capturing the essence of that era, this postcard transports us back to France's history during one of its most challenging times. The colorized version adds an extra layer of depth to our understanding of these significant events. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made by armed forces but also how ordinary people continued their lives amidst extraordinary circumstances. This piece from Bridgeman Images is truly an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate those who came before us.
