EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting early pictorial postcard captures the bustling activity at the Debarcadere du Pont d'Austerlitz, a historic ferry jetty along the Seine River in Paris, France. Circa the 1890s, this scene showcases the daily life of Parisians and tourists alike as they gather at the quay, waiting to embark or disembark from the ferries that connected the city to its suburbs, including Charenton-le-Pont. The Austerlitz Bridge, an iconic architectural landmark spanning the Seine, can be seen in the background. The photo portrays a lively atmosphere with long queues of people, some seated on the ground or leaning against the railings, while others are seen boarding or disembarking from the barges. The riverside quay, lined with trees and buildings, adds to the picturesque setting. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of water transportation in Paris during the late 19th century. This postcard, with its rich history and intriguing details, invites us to imagine the stories of the people in the scene and the role this ferry jetty played in the daily lives of Parisians during this era. A truly fascinating piece of history, this early pictorial postcard from the 1890s is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Parisian history and early photographic processes.
