Basilique Lourdes Prairie Pyrenees
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully coloured photograph print captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Basilique du Sanctuaire de Lourdes, located in the heart of the Pyrenees Mountains in France. Dated between approximately 1890 and 1900, this 19th-century photograph transports us back in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The Basilique, also known as the Basilique Mère Bourgade or Basilique Rosette, is a significant historical site, famous for its association with the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. With its distinctive pink facade, the basilica stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush, green prairie, creating a picturesque scene that has captivated visitors for generations. The intricate details of the basilica's architecture are on full display in this photograph, from the ornate rosette window to the intricately carved stonework. The use of the photochrom process, a popular method for producing colour photographs during this era, adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a true treasure for anyone with an interest in history, art, or travel.
