EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and elegance of Liepaja, Latvia's third-largest city, during the 1910s. The image, taken on Rose Square, showcases the vibrant and colorful ambiance of the city's historic center. The square, surrounded by beautiful buildings with intricate facades, is adorned with a lush bed of roses, adding a touch of romance and allure. In the background, the Great Street, also known as High Street, can be seen stretching out towards the horizon. This bustling thoroughfare was the heart of Liepaja's commercial and social life, teeming with activity from merchants, artisans, and locals. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians dressed in fashionable attire of the era create a captivating scene of a bygone era. Liepaja, located on the west coast of Latvia, was a significant port city during this time, with a rich cultural heritage influenced by the Baltic Sea, German, Russian, and Swedish settlers. The city's architecture reflects this diverse history, with a mix of Gothic, Art Nouveau, and Classical styles. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and charm of Liepaja during the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the city's past and its enduring allure. The roses in the square, the Great Street teeming with activity, and the intricate architecture of the buildings transport us back in time and invite us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating city.
