EDITORS COMMENTS
Square du Petit Sablon: A Timeless Ode to Traditional Professions in Brussels, Belgium (circa 1900) Nestled in the heart of Brussels, Belgium, the Square du Petit Sablon is an enchanting public garden that has preserved the essence of the city's rich history for over a century. This aerial view, taken circa 1900, showcases the beautifully landscaped space, adorned with an array of statues representing various traditional professions. The square's name, Petit Sablon, translates to 'little gravel pit,' a nod to its origins as a quarry during the Middle Ages. Over time, it evolved into a tranquil oasis, providing a respite from the bustling city life. The garden's layout is characterized by its meticulously manicured grass, vibrant flowerbeds, and intricately designed railings and columns. The statues, which have stood the test of time, are a testament to the importance of various professions in the community. Each statue, perched atop a plinth, portrays a figure embodying the spirit of a particular craft or trade. These include a blacksmith, a carpenter, a mason, and a weaver, among others. The Square du Petit Sablon serves as a reminder of the value of tradition and the importance of preserving the past. Its timeless beauty continues to draw visitors from near and far, making it an essential part of Brussels' cultural heritage. This aerial view offers a unique perspective of the square, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and the harmonious blend of architecture, history, and nature.
