EDITORS COMMENTS
Cassel, France: A Glimpse into the Past This enchanting photograph captures the timeless beauty of Cassel, France, in the early 1910s. The scene unfolds as a horse-drawn cart traverses the sun-kissed fields and winding pathways, its occupants gazing out towards a picturesque group of windmills and farmhouses in the distance. The windmills, with their tall, conical structures and graceful sails, are post mills, a traditional design that dates back to the 16th to 18th centuries. The windmills, once an essential part of rural life, were used for grinding grain and pumping water. Their presence in this idyllic scene serves as a reminder of the area's rich agricultural heritage. The farmhouses, nestled among the rolling hills, add to the sense of tranquility and rural charm. The fields, dotted with wildflowers and golden crops, stretch out towards the horizon, creating a tapestry of colors and textures. The sky, a canvas of ever-changing hues, completes the tableau of this quintessential French countryside scene. This photograph, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace, and the rhythm of the seasons shaped the daily lives of those who lived and worked in the countryside.
