EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful image captures the atmosphere of Potje-Cafe at Mont des Cats in Dunkirk, France, during the year 1914. The photograph shows two women, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, intently focused on their pipes as they sit in the dimly lit cafe. The room is filled with an eerie quietude, broken only by the occasional puff of smoke from their pipes. The spooky ambiance of the cafe is further accentuated by the face peering in from the window. The ghostly figure, shrouded in mystery, adds an otherworldly element to the scene. It is impossible to determine the identity or intentions of the figure, yet it seems to be a regular presence in the cafe, as if it has always been a part of the scene. Mont des Cats, or the "Mountain of Cats," is a limestone hill located near the North Sea coast in Dunkirk. The name is believed to have originated from the legend of a cat-shaped demon that haunted the area. The Potje-Cafe, with its mysterious aura and spooky surroundings, seems to have embraced this local folklore and incorporated it into its identity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the supernatural was a part of everyday life. The image is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the unknown.
