EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures the picturesque scene of La Rochelle, a charming port town in the southwest of France. The image showcases the bustling Port de peche (fishing port) and the magnificent Porte de l'Horloge (Clock Tower Gate), both iconic landmarks of this coastal gem. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this photograph exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to a bygone era. It is now part of a private collection, cherished for its historical significance and artistic beauty. The photograph was later featured as an illustration in "La France Du Sud-Ouest" by Charles Brossard, published by Flammarion in 1902. This publication aimed to showcase the rich cultural heritage and natural splendor of southwestern France. With its vibrant colors and meticulous composition, this image perfectly encapsulates the essence of La Rochelle's maritime atmosphere. From fishing boats bobbing gently on sparkling waters to the imposing Clock Tower Gate standing proudly against a clear blue sky, every detail tells a story about French culture and history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of photography from their extensive collection known as Fine Art Finder. Through it, we can appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also gain insight into life in La Rochelle during that period.
