EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure of the steam packet, "The Terraces," from the picturesque Monte Carlo harbor in Monaco. The year is uncertain, but the image transports us back in time to an era when steamships ruled the waves. The Terraces, a popular passenger liner of its day, is seen here casting off its moorings, ready to embark on its next voyage. The steam ship's massive funnel belches out plumes of smoke, a testament to the raw power of the technology that made long-distance travel by sea possible. The Terraces is dwarfed by the imposing cliffs and grand terraces of Monaco's rugged coastline, providing a striking contrast between the natural beauty of the landscape and the man-made marvel of the steamship. The roads leading up to the terraces are empty, adding to the sense of serenity and tranquility that pervades the scene. Monte Carlo, the glamorous principality famous for its casinos, grand prix races, and luxurious lifestyle, is shown in a more rustic and unassuming light. The image offers a glimpse into the past, when Monte Carlo was still a quaint fishing village and not yet the international playground it is known as today. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical significance, offering a window into a bygone era when travel by sea was an adventure in itself. The image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in maritime history, Monaco's rich past, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of a well-composed photograph.
