1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: The Old Town of Menton, Riviera (ca. 1890-1900)" Step back in time with this captivating, coloured photograph of the Old Town of Menton, located on the French Riviera. This picturesque view transports us to the late 19th century, where the charm of history comes alive. The Old Town, nestled along the Mediterranean coast, is a feast for the eyes. The narrow, winding streets are lined with charming, pastel-hued buildings, their facades adorned with intricate details and vibrant flowers cascading from balconies. The warm, sun-kissed hues of the image evoke a sense of nostalgia, inviting us to imagine the daily life of the town's residents during that era. The photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, is a stunning example of the Photochrom process, a popular method of colourizing black-and-white photographs during that time. The process, which involved hand-painting images with watercolours, adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the already beautiful scene. Menton, with its rich history and stunning natural beauty, has long been a popular destination for travellers seeking a taste of the Mediterranean. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the town's past, allowing us to appreciate its history and charm in a way that words alone cannot convey. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the power of photography to transport us to different times and places, allowing us to experience history in a tangible and meaningful way. This Old Town of Menton, with its vibrant colours and timeless allure, invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of the past.
