EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning, vintage postcard depicting the enchanting city of Amiens, Picardy, France. The main image showcases the grandeur of La Prefecture, a historic building that has stood proudly as the administrative hub of the city since the late 19th century. With its intricate stonework, impressive gates, and ornate railings, La Prefecture is a true architectural marvel. The inset views offer a glimpse into the charming streets of Amiens, specifically Rue de Metz-Leveque. The first inset view transports us to a narrow canal off the Somme River, where the tranquil water reflects the picturesque houses lining the banks. This view remains virtually unchanged to this day, making it a beloved sight for visitors and locals alike. The second inset view invites us to explore the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Set against a lush, green background, the image showcases a street lined with red blossoms, adding a pop of color to the scene. A delicate spider web graces the foreground, adding a touch of whimsy and reminding us of the delicate balance of nature. This postcard, circa 1908, is a testament to the timeless allure of Amiens. The combination of history, art, and natural beauty makes it an attractive addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate the elegance of the past.
