EDITORS COMMENTS
Marseille, France - La Cannebiere: A Journey Back in Time (circa 1905) Step back in time and join us on a journey through the historic heart of Marseille, France, as we explore the vibrant and bustling La Cannebiere, the city's iconic high street in the Old Quarter. This evocative photograph, taken circa 1905, captures the essence of a bygone era, with its horse-drawn carriages, elegant pedestrians, and the distinctive red-tiled roofs of the buildings lining the street. The tram, a popular mode of transportation during this period, adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene. La Cannebiere, which translates to 'the cane beater's road,' has been a focal point of Marseille's social and commercial life since the 16th century. Its rich history is reflected in the diverse architecture, from the ornate facades of the Palais Longchamp and the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, to the more modest homes and shops that line the street. The Old Quarter, where La Cannebiere is located, is a labyrinth of narrow streets and hidden courtyards, teeming with cafes, shops, and markets. It's a place where the past and present come together, where tradition and innovation coexist, and where the spirit of Marseille's vibrant culture is on full display. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a long-ago time, and to appreciate the enduring charm and character of one of Europe's most fascinating cities.
