EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Bayonne's Quai de Lesseps in the 1910s. The quay, located in the heart of this historic French town, is a hive of maritime activity with a diverse range of ships, boats, and steamers anchored or coming and going from the docks. The image showcases the rich tapestry of watercraft, from small fishing boats to large steamers, each with their unique character and purpose. The quay is lined with buildings that reflect the architectural charm of Bayonne, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate facades. The presence of a truck and tracks suggests the efficient movement of goods between the ships and the town, underlining the importance of the port in the region's economy. The photograph also highlights the picturesque coastal setting, with the blue waters of the Bay of Biscay stretching out towards the horizon. The funnel of a steamer in the background adds a sense of scale and depth to the scene. The presence of Dubonnet signs in the image adds an intriguing touch, hinting at the popular consumption of the vermouth wine in the region during that era. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the vibrant maritime history of Bayonne and its quay. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling port, transporting us back in time to the 1910s.
