EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment in Time: The Harbour of Nice, 1871 This photograph, taken in 1871, transports us back to the vibrant and bustling harbour of Nice, France. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the historical maritime activity that once defined this picturesque Mediterranean city. At the heart of the scene, a steamer, its smokestacks puffing out plumes of white steam, prepares to set sail, leaving the calm waters of the harbour behind. The steamer's departure creates a sense of anticipation and adventure, as it disappears into the horizon, leaving behind a trail of mist. Surrounding the steamer are several sailing vessels, their sails billowing in the breeze, skillfully maneuvering in and out of the harbour. The intricate details of the rigging and the varied shapes and sizes of the sails are a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Nice. The harbour itself is a hive of activity, with fishermen unloading their catch, merchants haggling over prices, and sailors tending to their ships. The cobblestone quayside, lined with colorful buildings and bustling with people, adds to the lively atmosphere. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a historical perspective of the harbour of Nice, a place where the past and present converge, inviting us to explore the stories and traditions that continue to shape this beautiful city by the sea.
