EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Niort, France - The Historic Heart of Angelica Production in Western France (1835)" Niort, a charming town nestled in the heart of western France, is depicted in this 19th-century print. Dating back to 1835, this image offers a general view of the town, showcasing its architectural grandeur and picturesque landscapes. Niort, known as the "City of Angels," holds a significant historical importance in the production of Angelica, an essential herb used in perfumery and medicine since ancient times. This herb, characterized by its tall, umbrella-like flower heads, thrives in the marshy regions surrounding Niort. The town's strategic location along the Sèvre Niortaise River and its proximity to the marshlands made it the major source of Angelica in all of France during the 19th century. The herb was harvested and processed locally, contributing to the town's economic growth and cultural identity. The print captures the essence of Niort during this period, revealing a bustling town with a vibrant marketplace, grand châteaux, and the Sèvre Niortaise River winding through its heart. The lush greenery and serene waterways surrounding the town further emphasize its rich natural resources and the importance of Angelica production. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the deep-rooted connection between Niort and the production of Angelica, a tradition that continues to thrive in the region today. The print serves as a testament to the town's rich history and its enduring significance in the world of perfumery and natural remedies.
