EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating vintage photograph that transports us back in time to the Grand Pont bridge in Rouen, France, during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The black and white image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the grandeur and beauty of this historic bridge in its early days. The photograph features the bridge's intricate ironwork, with its ornate arches and delicate lattice design, illuminated by the warm glow of gas lanterns. The Sienne River, calm and serene, reflects the bridge's elegance, creating a mirror image that adds to the overall charm of the scene. The image also captures the bustling activity on the bridge, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way across. The horses, with their proud heads held high, add a sense of energy and movement to the static photograph. The people, dressed in the fashion of the time, add a human element to the image, making it a snapshot of life in Rouen during the late 1800s or early 1900s. The photograph's grainy texture and slight imperfections are a testament to its age and history. It's a reminder that this image was once a cherished possession, likely viewed through a lantern slide projector, bringing the sights and sounds of Rouen to audiences far and wide. Today, "Grand Pont, Rouen, France" serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of Rouen, and the power of photography to transport us through time. It's a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the enduring allure of vintage photography.
