Step back in time with these historic illustrations, capturing the essence of a bygone era. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of cultures and landscapes that shaped our world. From Tartars to people from the Kakasus region in Russia, witness their vibrant traditional costumes as they come to life around 1890. These digitally enhanced reproductions of photochrome prints from 1895 transport us to a time when history was being made. Traveling further west, we find ourselves on Rue Chapeau Rouge, gazing upon Place Richelieu in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The bustling streets and elegant architecture evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long past. Similarly enchanting is the general view of Dinan in Brittany, France - its quaint charm preserved through this historic reproduction. Venturing along Cape Lihou in Granville, Normandy, we are greeted by breathtaking coastal views that have stood the test of time since c. 1890. As we cross Bridge La Trauchee des Anglais and explore Port exit at Dunkirk in Hauts-de-France, France; memories resurface from an age where maritime trade thrived. Heading south to Grasse in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region lies Gourdon - home to a picturesque bridge over Wolf Gorge that has captivated visitors for centuries. Meanwhile, Dinard beach beckons us with its pristine sands and tranquil waters - an idyllic escape reminiscent of summers gone by. Amidst these glimpses into European history lie unexpected treasures: Lansium parasiticum (Lansium domesticum), originating from Malaysia but finding popularity across oceans in the Philippines and Thailand due to its delectable fruits. Intriguingly juxtaposed are advertisements showcasing German craftsmanship during this period: Eger & Sohn's sleeping skirts offer comfort while Victoria sewing machines revolutionize domesticity. Carl Krause's leather suitcase factory entices travelers with their timeless creations.
