EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Rouen's iconic Great Astronomical Clock, also known as La Grosse Horloge. The clock, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, is located in the historic heart of Rouen, France. The clock's intricate design dates back to the late 14th century, with the movement having been created between 1390 and 1397, while the surrounding masonry was added in 1511. The clock's ornate dial, framed by an elegant arch, dominates the scene, drawing the eye of passersby. The arcade, filled with shops, adds to the bustling energy of the street, with a tobacconist's sign visible in the foreground. The fountain, added in 1731, adds a touch of whimsy and tranquility to the scene. This photograph captures the timeless allure of Rouen's history and its rich architectural heritage.
