EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment in time from the early 20th century, as a proud French shopkeeper stands with his wife and children outside their family business in Clamecy, France. Dressed in traditional attire of the era, the shopkeeper exudes a sense of pride and accomplishment, while his wife and children gaze affectionately at him. The quaint shop, adorned with intricate wooden signs and shutters, adds to the idyllic scene. The photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of a French family during this time. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the role that small businesses played in communities, as they often served as the heart and soul of the neighborhood. Clamecy, a picturesque town located in the Nievre department of central France, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. This photograph not only captures the essence of this particular family, but also represents the larger historical context of the town and the region. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring bonds of family and community. It is a reminder that, despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place, the importance of family and the role of small businesses in our lives remain constant.
