EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a special moment between a man and his young daughter as they pause before an ancient doorway in the picturesque town of Quimper, France. The scene, set on Rue du Gueodet, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The man, dressed in a traditional Breton sweater and trousers, wears a serious expression, while his daughter, adorned in a frilly dress and bonnet, gazes up at the ornate carvings above the doorway with wonder. The old house, with its intricately carved stonework and worn facade, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Quimper and Brittany. The doorway serves as a grand entrance to what was once a private residence, now long gone. The lintel, adorned with carved figures and symbols, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue. Quimper, a town located in the Finistère department of Brittany, is known for its well-preserved old houses, many of which date back to the Middle Ages. The town's unique architecture, influenced by both Breton and French styles, is a popular draw for tourists from around the world. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that lie within the walls of this old house and the lives of the people who once called it home.
