EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1892 captures a scene in France, Auvergne, Puy-de-Dome (63), Clermont-Ferrand, showcasing the traditional method of transporting terracotta containers filled with delicious cheese. The image depicts a time when hippomobile transport was commonly used for moving goods through the streets of this charming European city.
The bustling street scene is filled with activity as pedestrians walk alongside the horse-drawn cart carrying the precious cargo of cheese. The ceramic containers gleam in the sunlight, hinting at the delectable dairy products they hold within.
This snapshot of daily life in late nineteenth century France offers a glimpse into a bygone era when commerce and trade were vital parts of community life. The sight of peasants and market vendors going about their business adds to the authenticity and charm of this historic photograph.
The picturesque backdrop of Puy-de-Dome (63) provides a stunning setting for this moment frozen in time. The iconic dome looms overhead, casting its shadow over the scene below and adding to the overall ambiance captured by Lux-in-Fine's skilled photography.
Overall, this print is not just an image but a window into another world—a world where cheese-making and transportation were integral parts of everyday life in Clermont-Ferrand.
