Courances from Station: A Coloured View of Town Buildings, Circa 1890s This lantern slide, titled "Courances from Station," offers a vibrant and detailed glimpse into the picturesque town of Courances in Normandy, France during the late 19th century. The image, which is believed to have been captured around the 1890s, showcases the town's architectural charm through a colourful array of buildings that line the streets leading away from the train station. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when horse-drawn carriages and trains were the primary modes of transportation. The station, with its red-roofed buildings and tall, ornate chimneys, stands proudly at the center of the image, serving as a testament to the town's industrial past. The buildings that surround the station are a delightful blend of architectural styles, with some displaying the classic half-timbered design that is synonymous with Normandy and Brittany. Others feature more modern, stone facades, complete with decorative details and intricate ironwork. The use of colour in the photograph adds depth and dimension to the scene, bringing the town to life and allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life in Courances during the late 1800s. This coloured view of Courances from Station is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Normandy and Brittany in France. It invites us to explore the region's past and appreciate the unique character of its towns and villages, which continue to captivate visitors from around the world.
