EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quaint charm of La Rue Jean in the picturesque town of Saint-Riquier, located in the Somme region of Northern France, circa 1910. The image transports us back in time, with its horse-drawn carts, children playing in the streets, and the distinctive architecture of the buildings. At the heart of the scene, the tabacconist shop, run by M. Boivin or M. Vasseur, beckons to passersby. The sign above the door, "Tabac," is a familiar sight, inviting customers to step inside for a tobacco product or perhaps a chat with the shopkeeper. The shop's display window showcases an array of tobacco tins, pipes, and other smoking accessories, while the wooden shutters are adorned with intricate carvings. Across the street, the impressive Saint-Riquier church stands tall, its Gothic architecture a testament to the town's rich history. The church's bell tower reaches for the sky, casting long shadows over the cobblestone streets. La Rue Jean, with its charming shops and historic buildings, offers a glimpse into the past of this beautiful French town. The horse-drawn carts, the children playing, and the bustling tabacconist shop all contribute to the lively and inviting atmosphere of this scene, making it a treasure for anyone with an appreciation for history and the simple pleasures of life.
