EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rouen, a city in Normandy, France, dating back to the late 1890s. The image transports us to a bygone era, as we take in the scene of a bustling city street, filled with the hustle and bustle of pedestrians going about their daily business. The photograph captures the unique charm of Rouen, a city rich in history and culture, located in the northern region of France, known as Bretagne or Brittany. The city's Gothic architecture is on full display, with its intricate details and ornate designs, as seen in the buildings lining the street. The lantern held by one of the pedestrians adds an extra layer of intrigue to the photograph, hinting at the possibility of an evening stroll or perhaps an extended power outage. The use of monochrome tones adds to the timeless quality of the image, allowing us to focus on the intricacies of the scene and the people who populate it. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the fashion of the late 19th century, with the pedestrians dressed in the styles of the time, from the voluminous skirts of the women to the tailored suits of the men. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Rouen and the rich history of France, making it a must-have addition to any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in European history and culture.
