EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1910s, the quaint town of Saint Omer in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France is showcased in all its charm and elegance. The image, taken from a vantage point overlooking the town, captures the newly constructed bridge that spans the Aa River, connecting the old and new parts of this historic commune. The bridge, a marvel of engineering and design, is adorned with intricate ironwork and features a clock tower at one end. The clock, with its ornate face and hands, adds a sense of timekeeping tradition to the modern structure. The town's architecture is a delightful blend of old and new, with traditional half-timbered houses and stone buildings lining the streets, and the new bridge serving as a testament to the town's progress and development. People are visible in the photograph, going about their daily routines, adding a sense of life and energy to the scene. The townspeople, dressed in the fashion of the era, are seen walking along the riverbank, tending to their gardens, and going about their business. The atmosphere is peaceful and idyllic, with the sun casting a warm glow over the town and the river. Saint Omer, with its rich history and picturesque setting, has long been a popular destination for travelers and tourists. The town's historic center, with its stunning Gothic cathedral and charming streets, is a must-see for anyone visiting the region. And the new bridge, a symbol of progress and connection, serves as a reminder of the town's enduring charm and resilience. This photograph, from The Patricia Aubrey Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and history of Saint Omer, Pas-de-Calais, northern France.
