EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by French photographer Patrice Cartier in 1903, transports us back to the bustling streets of Beziers in Herault. The image showcases a newsstand adorned with billboards promoting the Excelsior newspaper, situated on the picturesque Paul Riquet alleys. The scene captures a vibrant moment in press and advertising history, as passersby are drawn to the eye-catching posters that line the stand. These advertisements serve as windows into early 20th-century culture, offering glimpses of movie posters and various other commercial promotions. Amidst the backdrop of this charming street view, we witness a snapshot of daily life during this era. The newsstand stands as a hub for information exchange and serves as a testament to the power of journalism in shaping public opinion. As we delve into this historical photograph, it becomes evident that it not only documents an advertisement-laden street corner but also encapsulates broader themes such as French culture and society at large. It offers us insight into France's rich newspaper tradition while showcasing Beziers' unique charm within Languedoc-Roussillon region. Patrice Cartier skillfully captured this moment from over a century ago with his anonymous original photograph now held in private collection. Through his lens, he immortalizes an era where newspapers were king and advertising reigned supreme on every city block.
