EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a 17th century house interior located in the Chicken Market of Gand (Ghent), Belgium. Dating back to the early 1600s, this historic residence showcases the grandeur and intricacy of Baroque architecture that once defined the region. The room's ornate fireplace, carved with elaborate designs and topped with a statue, serves as the focal point, drawing the eye and evoking a sense of awe. The wooden ceiling, adorned with intricate beams and decorative carvings, adds to the room's old-world charm. The wooden chairs and furniture, with their worn surfaces and faded colors, speak to the passage of time and the countless stories they have witnessed. The statues that flank the fireplace, their faces weathered and serene, complete the scene and add an air of history and tradition. The Chicken Market, a bustling hub of activity in Gand during the 19th and early 20th centuries, provided an essential service to the community. This image, captured circa 1910, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the buildings and interiors that have stood the test of time. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and architectural history of Belgium, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the past for future generations.
