EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautifully coloured and nostalgic photograph of the picturesque Hotel de Ville place in Avignon, Provence, France. Dating back to the late 19th century, around 1890 to 1900, this historical image transports us to a bygone era. The vibrant hues of the buildings and the clear blue sky contrast beautifully with the black and white streets, creating a scene that is both charming and intriguing. Avignon, a city rich in history, is famously known for its Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic fortress in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But this photograph offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the city during this period. The horses and carriages, the people dressed in their finest attire, and the bustling market scene all add to the lively atmosphere of the place. The photochrom process used to create this print adds a unique and captivating quality to the image. The process involved the use of multiple color filters to produce a colored image from a black and white original. This technique was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and allowed for the mass production of coloured photographs. This photograph is not only a historical record of a place and time but also a work of art that evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It invites us to imagine the stories and memories of the people and events that once took place in this beautiful square in Avignon, Provence, France.
