Nice, 1858. Creator: Allen Meason
Nice, 1858....long considered one of the sanatoriums of Europe...resorted to, especially during the winter, by individuals from all parts of the world. This town, also a seaport of Sardinia, is beautifully situated on the French frontier, in a small plain, which it almost covers, at the foot of the Maritime Alps. The waters of the Mediterranean wash its walls on the south; on the north and on the east the mountains inclose it round in the form of an amphitheatre; and on the west it is bounded by the River Paglione...The harbour, or port, lies three quarters of a mile east of the Paglione...The number of visitors in the winter generally exceeds six thousand, the greater part of whom are English; and for them ample accommodation is afforded. Provisions are moderate in price, and vegetables of various kinds abundant, but the water is indifferent. Of late it has been stated that, although the climate is mild, it is so far from being advantageous to persons suffering from pulmonary and bronchial complaints, that it is positively prejudicial to invalids suffering from those diseases'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Nice, 1858: A Seaside Sanctuary of Europe (Allen Meason/Heritage Images) Nice, France, 1858: A Haven for Health and Tranquility This photograph, taken by Allen Meason in 1858, showcases the picturesque town of Nice, then a renowned European health resort. Long considered a sanctuary, Nice was a popular destination for individuals seeking relief from various ailments, particularly during the winter months. Situated on the French Riviera, Nice is a seaport of Sardinia, nestled in a small plain at the foot of the Maritime Alps. The Mediterranean Sea laps its southern walls, while the north and eastern boundaries are enclosed by the majestic mountains, forming an amphitheater-like landscape. The harbor or port, located three-quarters of a mile east of the River Paglione, is a bustling hub of activity, with ships and boats dotting the calm waters. The town's popularity soared during the 19th century, attracting thousands of visitors, primarily from England. In fact, the number of winter visitors often surpassed six thousand, with ample accommodations provided for their comfort. Provisions were reasonably priced, and a variety of vegetables were abundant. However, the water quality left much to be desired. Despite the mild climate, it was rumored that Nice was not advantageous for individuals suffering from pulmonary and bronchial complaints, and some even claimed that it was detrimental to their health. This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1858, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the allure and appeal of Nice as a health resort, a tradition that continues to this day. The town's enchanting blend of natural beauty, mild climate, and therapeutic properties has drawn visitors from around the world, making it an enduring symbol of relaxation and rejuvenation.
