EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Calais, France in 1895. Standing tall against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape, we are presented with two architectural marvels - The Watch Tower and Hotel De Ville. The Watch Tower, dating back to the 13th century, exudes an air of medieval grandeur. Its sturdy stone walls and intricate details transport us to a bygone era where knights guarded its ramparts. Next to it stands the old town hall, built in the early 19th century. This juxtaposition of centuries showcases the rich history that Calais holds within its streets. The clock on top of Hotel De Ville serves as a reminder of time's ceaseless march forward. As if frozen in monochrome elegance, this photograph captures not only these magnificent structures but also the essence of life outside their walls. The square known as Place D'Armes comes alive with people going about their daily routines amidst this architectural splendor. Published by George Newnes Ltd in London during that era, this image is part of a collection titled "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs". It offers viewers a glimpse into different corners of our planet through stunning visuals like this one. As we gaze upon this print from over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how architecture has shaped cities throughout time. It reminds us that even though years have passed since then, these buildings still stand proudly today – testaments to human ingenuity and craftsmanship.
