EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of The Cannabiere and Hotel de Louvre in Marseilles, France, dating from the late 19th century. The vibrant, coloured image captures the picturesque and nostalgic charm of this historic waterfront scene. The Cannabiere, a popular promenade along the Old Port of Marseilles, is named after the Cannes-à-Biere, or "beer cans," which were once used to transport wine and beer from the port to the city. In this photograph, the promenade is bustling with activity, as horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians make their way along the cobblestone streets. Dominating the left side of the image is the majestic Hotel de Louvre, which was built in 1852 and served as the city's main hotel. Its elegant facade, with its ornate balconies and intricate ironwork, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Belle Époque era. The photograph, which is part of a series of photochrom prints produced by the British publishing house, The Photochrom Company Ltd., showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Marseilles during a time when it was a thriving port city and a popular tourist destination. The use of the photochrom process, which involved hand-coloring photographs, adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a truly unique and captivating glimpse into the past.
