EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Pont Saint-Benezet, Avignon, 1890-1900" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Avignon in the late 19th century. The photograph captures the iconic Pont Saint-Benezet, also known as Pont d'Avignon, standing proudly over the Rhone River. Built around 1345 by Pope Clement VI, this medieval bridge has become a symbol of both architectural marvel and historical significance. Its elegant arches stretch gracefully across the river, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine bustling townsfolk traversing its path centuries ago. The town's rich history is palpable in every stone and ruin depicted within this artwork. The remnants of ancient structures serve as reminders of past civilizations that once thrived here. It is through images like these that we are transported to another time and place – where stories unfold amidst cobblestone streets and whispers echo through narrow alleyways. This particular print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Avignon but also the artistry behind French photography during this period.
