EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Nuns of Anglet" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. Captured by an anonymous European photographer, this image showcases a group of nuns from the Anglet convent in Biarritz, France. The solemnity and grace exuded by these nuns are beautifully portrayed through their traditional habits and serene expressions. The monochromatic tones add depth and enhance the historical ambiance of the photograph. This particular print was featured as an illustration for "The Outline of the World To-Day" edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest, published around 1920. It provides us with a glimpse into the lives of these devout women who dedicated themselves to a life of spirituality within their Trappist community. As we observe them gathered in what appears to be a refectory, one can't help but wonder about their daily routines and frugal fare. This image serves as a reminder of the simplicity that often accompanies religious devotion. "The Nuns of Anglet" is not just a photograph; it is also a window into history—a testament to early 20th-century Europe. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness moments that shaped our collective past.
