EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bretagne" by Roland Goujon, transports us back to the 1930s in Northern France. The image showcases a traditional Breton couple, dressed in their colorful attire, standing beside a railway track. The man, wearing a striped shirt and pants, dons a straw hat adorned with ribbons, while the woman, in her full apron and bonnet, holds a basket filled with fresh produce. The couple's gaze is fixed on an open railway map spread out between them, suggesting a sense of excitement and anticipation for their upcoming journey. The railway, a symbol of modernity and progress, is highlighted by the contrasting colors of the train in the background. Roland Goujon, a renowned French photographer, expertly captured the essence of Bretagne's rich cultural heritage in this image. The region, located in the northwest of France, is known for its unique traditions and vibrant folklore. The couple's traditional attire, reminiscent of the 1930s, adds to the historical significance of the photograph. The "Bretagne" poster is a testament to the enduring allure of rail travel and the beauty of France's diverse regions. This photograph is not only a historical document, but also a visual representation of the connection between the past and the present, as well as the enduring appeal of travel and exploration.
