EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the picturesque landscape of Morez, a commune nestled in the Jura department of eastern France during the 1910s, winter's icy grip held the streets in its grasp. The Grande Rue, the main thoroughfare of the town, was transformed into a frozen tableau as snowdrifts piled high, blocking the passage for both vehicles and pedestrians. In response to this wintery obstacle, the residents of Morez turned to a traditional method of snow clearance - a horse-drawn snowplow. The image captures the moment as the snowplow, led by a team of powerful horses, makes its way down the Grande Rue. The plow's long, curved blade slices through the drifts, clearing a path for the community. Children, bundled up against the cold, gather around to watch the spectacle, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. The snowplow, a symbol of perseverance and community spirit, was an essential part of winter life in Morez. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and resilience of the people who lived in this charming French commune during the early 20th century. The Jura department, located in the Franche-Comte region, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes and rich history. The image of the snowplow clearing the Grande Rue at Morez is a testament to the region's unique character and the ingenuity of its people in the face of adversity.
