EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting beauty of Rouen Fountaine Ste Marie, a stunning waterfall located in the heart of Normandy, France, during the late 1890s. The image transports us back in time to an era of romanticism and wonder, as the decorative statuary adorning the fountain stands proudly against the misty backdrop of the cascading water. The lantern slide, likely used for projection in the late 19th century, showcases the intricate details of the ornate stonework, with each figure seemingly frozen in time. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the tranquil water, which flows gracefully over the rocks, creating a sense of peace and harmony. The Normandy region, known for its rich history and breathtaking landscapes, is captured perfectly in this photograph. The area, which is also home to the famous Breton and Brittany regions of France, boasts a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The fountain at Rouen Ste Marie is a testament to the region's commitment to preserving its past, while also embracing the modern innovations of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the timeless allure of Rouen Fountaine Ste Marie and the beauty of Normandy during the late 1800s. The intricate details of the decorative statuary, the misty waterfall, and the peaceful atmosphere all combine to create an image that is as captivating today as it was over a century ago.
