EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Namur in 1890, a city steeped in history and territorial disputes. The image showcases the magnificent Citadel of Namur, strategically located at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers. Throughout its existence, this fortress has been a bone of contention between Spain, France, and England. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815, Belgium was incorporated into the United Kingdom of the Netherlands during the Congress of Vienna. However, tensions led to Belgium breaking away from the Netherlands in 1830 following a revolution. This snapshot captures an era when these political struggles were still fresh in people's minds. The photograph is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier. It offers a glimpse into daily life during that time period - men can be seen on barges along the riverbank, engaged in fishing or pulling their boats along with horses. The landscape is dotted with buildings and housing atop hills surrounding Namur's citadel. This monochrome engraving not only serves as a historical document but also evokes nostalgia for an old-fashioned way of life. It reminds us how geography played a crucial role in shaping nations' destinies while capturing local people going about their day against this picturesque backdrop. With its rich historical context and stunning imagery captured by an unknown creator over a century ago, this print truly transports us back to Namur's fascinating past.
