EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling streets of Dunkirk, France, in the 1910s. At the heart of the scene, the Town Hall stands proudly, its Gothic Revival architecture a testament to the town's rich history. In the distance, the belfry of the Belfry of the Belles-Frères rises majestically, adding to the picturesque skyline. The tranquil scene is brought to life by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A tram glides smoothly down the cobblestone street, its tracks a familiar sight in this era of emerging urban transport. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the time, go about their business, some stopping to chat or browse the wares of nearby shops. The streets of Dunkirk were a hub of activity, with horse-drawn carriages and bicycles sharing the road with trams and motorcars. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the Town Hall was not just a symbol of local government, but a focal point of community life. The Roseries Collection, through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a wealth of historical images that transport us back in time. This photograph of Dunkirk's Town Hall is a testament to the collection's ability to capture the essence of a place and a moment in history.
