EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph capturing the charm of Rue Haute, the high street of Eix in the Meuse Department of France, as it appeared in 1911. The black and white image transports us to a bygone era, filled with the simple pleasures of everyday life in a small French town over a century ago. The cobblestone street, lined with quaint shops and houses, is bustling with activity. Children in their Sunday best, dressed in high collars and long skirts, play and laugh in the street, their joyous energy adding to the lively scene. A woman in a long, flowing skirt and apron, her arms laden with market goods, walks confidently along the street, her determined expression a testament to the hardworking spirit of the community. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation at the time, add to the rustic charm of the scene. The horse and carriage parked at the side of the street, its driver engaged in conversation with a shopkeeper, highlights the close-knit nature of the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and culture of Eix and the Meuse Department of France during the 1910s. The simple pleasures of life, the warmth of community, and the beauty of a small French town are all captured in this timeless image.
