EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of tranquility in the ancient quarter of Liege, Belgium, circa 1905. In the heart of the bustling city, a woman takes a respite from her daily chores, having removed her yolk and set it aside. She sits by the edge of a serene fountain, the cool water reflecting the sun's rays as it cascades down. The scene is one of simple, everyday life in Old Liege, a place where the passage of time seems to move at a slower pace. The card bearing this image carries the faint remnants of promotional overprinting, a relic from its past. The once prominent branding for Biscuits Parein of Anvers (Antwerp) can still be made out, a testament to the card's history. The company, known for its delicious biscuits, may have used this image in their marketing efforts, showcasing the charm and beauty of Liege to potential customers. Despite the subtle branding, the focus remains on the enchanting scene before us. The lady's peaceful rest by the fountain serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures in life and the rich history that lies within the ancient quarter of Liege.
