EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque town of Menton, France, as it looked in 1919, with a westward view from the Italian border. The image transports us back in time to the aftermath of the First World War, when Europe was in the process of being rebuilt and redefined. Menton, located in the southeastern corner of France, is nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Italian border. In this photograph, we can see the winding streets of the old town, with their terracotta-roofed houses and colorful facades, cascading down the hillside towards the sea. The town's iconic palm trees, which have thrived in the subtropical climate, can be seen lining the streets and the waterfront. To the left of the photograph, the Alps can be glimpsed in the distance, their snow-capped peaks reaching towards the sky. The Italian border is just beyond the mountains, marking the boundary between two nations that have a long and complex history. Despite the challenges of the post-war period, Menton and its surroundings continue to be a popular destination for travelers seeking sun, sea, and culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the beauty and resilience of this charming town and its surroundings.
