EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white postcard, dating back to around 1900, transports us to the bustling cattle market place in Pradelles. The French photographer behind this remarkable image captures a snapshot of rural life in the early 20th century. In this lively scene, farmers gather outdoors as they meticulously select their livestock for trade. The square is crowded with cows and oxen, creating an atmosphere of vibrant commerce. Each farmer carefully assesses the animals on display, seeking out the perfect addition to their own flock. Surrounded by charming houses that line the marketplace, Pradelles exudes a sense of authenticity and tradition. This small town in Haute-Loire, part of Auvergne region near Le Puy-en-Velay, serves as a hub for local farmers who come together to buy and sell their prized cattle. The photograph beautifully captures both the energy and tranquility of this open-air market. It showcases not only the economic importance but also highlights how deeply intertwined farming was with everyday life during that era. As we gaze upon this historical print from a private collection now out of copyright restrictions thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand an important aspect of agricultural heritage that shaped communities like Pradelles over a century ago.
