EDITORS COMMENTS
Marseille, 20th October 1887 (b/w photo) captures a timeless moment in the bustling commercial port of Marseille, France. Taken by an anonymous Portuguese photographer from the 19th century, this print showcases the vibrant trade activity that defined this historic city. In this snapshot, carts eagerly await their turn to transport cargo away from the quay. Stacks of barrels line the waterfront, ready to be loaded onto waiting ships. The air is filled with anticipation as a tram passes by, adding to the dynamic atmosphere of this thriving maritime hub. The photograph offers a glimpse into Marseille's rich trading history and its vital role as a gateway for international commerce. Fishing boats dotting the harbor serve as a reminder of the city's close connection to its coastal surroundings. With its sepia tones lending an air of nostalgia, this image transports us back in time to witness Marseille's heyday as one of France's most important trading centers. It encapsulates both the energy and tranquility found within this French city on any given day. Preserved within private collections until now, "Marseille, 20th October 1887" allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also admire it as an exquisite piece of early photography captured by an unknown talent.
