EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Railway station building (Sint-Pietersstation) in Ghent, Belgium, circa 1912. The focus of the image is on the impressive entrance hall, showcasing its intricate architectural details and timeless elegance. The photographer, Cloquet Louis, skillfully captures the essence of this early twentieth-century masterpiece. The composition draws attention to the vastness of the space with its high ceilings and ornate columns that exude a sense of grandeur.

As one's gaze wanders through this magnificent interior, it is impossible not to be captivated by various sculptures adorning the hall.
