EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of The Harbor and Old Town of Menton, Riviera, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900. This picturesque scene transports us to a bygone era, filled with historical charm and nostalgic allure. The colorful buildings of the old town cascade down the hillside, their pastel hues reflecting off the calm, turquoise waters of the harbor. Fishing boats bob gently in the water, their sails furled, while the quaint, narrow streets of the town wind their way up the hillside, inviting exploration. The 19th century charm of Menton is on full display in this photograph, with its eclectic mix of architectural styles and vibrant colors. The town, nestled on the French Riviera, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking a taste of the Mediterranean. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and character of Menton during a time when it was still a relatively undiscovered gem. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a photochrom print, a process that was widely used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to produce colored photographs from black and white originals. The result is a rich, detailed image that captures the essence of the scene in a way that a photograph simply cannot. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore, feel the warm sun on our faces, and smell the aroma of fresh seafood wafting from the harbor. It is a reminder of the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, to evoke emotions and memories that linger long after the image has faded from view.
