EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Arras Cattle Market in northern France, as it appeared in the year 1905. The historic market, located in the heart of Arras at Place Victor Hugo, is a scene of frenetic activity as farmers and traders gather to buy and sell livestock. The cobblestone square is filled with a dense crowd of people, all engaged in the business of the day. In the foreground, a farmer in a wide-brimmed hat and heavy work boots inspects a prized cow, its coat glistening with rainwater from the recent downpour. Nearby, a group of men in suits and bowler hats haggle over the price of a herd of cattle, their voices rising above the cacophony of the market. The market stalls, lined with butchers' hooks and animal hides, add to the sense of history and tradition. The historic architecture of Arras, including the ornate facades of the buildings surrounding the square, provide a striking backdrop to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the daily business of farming and livestock trading was a central part of rural life in northern France. The image is a testament to the enduring history and cultural significance of Arras Cattle Market, which continues to thrive to this day.
