EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quaint charm of Bergues, France, in the 1910s, as depicted by a large brick Red Cross (Croix-Rouge) building standing proudly on the corner of the Route de Socx. The building, with its distinctive red cross emblem, exudes a sense of community and compassion, reflecting the humanitarian efforts of the Red Cross organization. Outside the building, a man in a hat and overcoat, and a woman in a long skirt and blouse, engage in a conversation while a horse and haycart are tethered nearby. The horse, with its large ears perked up, seems curious about the goings-on around it. The trees in the background, with their vibrant green leaves, add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The Route de Socx, a quiet country road, is barely visible in the background, leading the viewer's gaze towards the heart of Bergues. The use of natural lighting, with the sun casting long shadows, adds depth and texture to the image, creating a timeless and nostalgic feel. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a small French town during the early 20th century. The Red Cross building, with its enduring symbol of hope and healing, serves as a reminder of the resilience and kindness of the human spirit.
