EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tubular Jetty, Mouth of the Adour, Port of Bayonne, 1892" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century France. Created by Louis Lafon, a renowned photographer of his time, this albumen silver print captures the essence of an era long gone. The image showcases a tubular jetty stretching out into the mouth of the Adour River in Bayonne. The intricate iron structure stands tall against the backdrop of a serene sea and sky. Its elegant curves and sturdy construction are a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic vision. Lafon's masterful use of light and shadow brings out every detail in this monochromatic composition. The contrast between white foam crashing against dark steel creates a sense of drama that draws viewers into the scene. As we gaze upon this photograph from over a century ago, we are transported to an age when steamships sailed these waters and trade flourished at bustling ports like Bayonne. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared history but also our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through photography. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece continues to inspire awe for its technical skill and ability to evoke emotions across generations.
