EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th-century vintage photograph of Liege, Belgium's Pont des Arches. The image, taken between the 1870s and 1900s, showcases a leisure boat gracefully passing under the grand steel arch bridge. The bridge, a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage, stands proudly over the Meuse River, its intricate details and ornate barriers reflecting the bygone era's engineering prowess. The cityscape in the background is a stunning blend of traditional and modern structures, with clouds gently drifting across the sky, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The pier and buildings along the riverbank are bustling with activity, hinting at the vibrant culture and tourism that has long attracted visitors to this historic capital city. The serene waters of the Meuse River, dotted with boats and ships, provide a picturesque contrast to the industrial landscape, while the ocean in the distance beckons to the adventurous spirit of travelers. The bridge, an obstruction to the free flow of the river, is a testament to the importance of connectivity and the role it plays in shaping the urban landscape. This photograph, a beautiful example of the photochrom or photochrome process, captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and heritage of Liege and the many stories it holds within its walls.
