EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint French town of Bourbourg during the 1910s, showcases the picturesque Grand Place, a central square that has been the heart of this community for centuries. The photograph, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the charm of this bygone era. At the center of the square, the stunning Saint Jean-Baptiste church stands proudly, its pastel-colored walls and intricately designed bell tower reaching towards the sky. The church, with its tall spire and ornate belfry, has been a beacon of faith and spirituality for the residents of Bourbourg for over seven centuries. Surrounding the church, a lively horse market comes to life. Traders and locals gather to buy and sell horses, their animated conversations and laughter filling the air. The horses, with their powerful builds and expressive eyes, add to the vibrant atmosphere of the market. The buildings that line the square, with their warm, earthy tones and intricate architectural details, create a sense of history and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of Bourbourg and the role that its Grand Place and Saint Jean-Baptiste church have played in shaping the town's identity. The pastel colors, the bustling market, and the towering church belfry all come together to create an image that is both timeless and evocative, inviting us to imagine the stories of the people who once walked these streets.
