EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Pont Lafayette, Lyon, France (circa 1908): A captivating view over the River Rhone in Lyon, France, showcases the iconic double-decker bridge, Le Pont Lafayette, connecting the Presqu'île and the Peninsule de la Martinière. The bridge, adorned with its distinctive double tramlines, was a marvel of transportation innovation during the early 1900s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past as pedestrians are seen strolling along the bridge, while double-decker trams glide effortlessly over the water, leaving behind ripples in the tranquil river. In the distance, the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, perched atop the hill, watches over the city with its grandeur and serenity. The advertisement panel on the bridge, featuring the Byrrh logo, adds an intriguing touch to the scene. Byrrh was a popular French wine and aperitif brand during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The advertisement panel, with its bold typography and vibrant colors, effectively captures the attention of the viewers. This photograph, taken circa 1908, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Lyon, France. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the charm and allure of the city during the early 20th century.
