EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Corner of France in England: J. Barriere & Cie, 17 Green Street (Now Irving Street), a French Bookshop & Travel Agent off Leicester Square, London (circa 1910) 2.. Step back in time to early 20th century London, where the charm of France could be found just off the bustling Leicester Square. In this evocative photograph, J. Barriere & Cie, a French bookshop and travel agent, stands proudly at number 17 Green Street (now Irving Street). The quaint shop, with its distinctive red awning and French flag, was a beloved destination for Anglophile Francophiles and Parisian expatriates. The shop's windows display a captivating assortment of books, newspapers, and broadsheets, reflecting the rich literary heritage of France. The bookseller and his staff, dressed in formal attire, are engrossed in their work, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for customers. The travel agent section of the shop, with its maps, brochures, and posters, promised adventures to far-off lands, making dreams of travel to France and beyond a reality. The corner of Green Street and Irving Street, now a bustling thoroughfare, was once a haven for those seeking a taste of France in the heart of London. This photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between the two nations, their shared love for literature, and the allure of travel. J. Barriere & Cie, with its French books, travel services, and friendly staff, was more than just a shop; it was a cultural bridge between France and England, a symbol of the rich tapestry of London's multicultural history. This image, taken circa 1910, invites us to explore the history and charm of a bygone era, when a simple stroll down Green Street could transport you to the streets of Paris.
