EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time in San Sebastian, Spain, during the Paseo hour of 1904. The image features a bourgeois family posing for the photographer, with the elegant streets of San Sebastian serving as their backdrop.
The family exudes an air of sophistication and privilege, dressed in fashionable attire typical of the early 20th century. The women are adorned in long skirts and elaborate hats, while the men sport tailored suits and bowler hats. In contrast to their formal attire, they appear relaxed and at ease, enjoying a leisurely stroll through one of Spain's most picturesque cities.
The presence of the photographer adds an interesting dynamic to the scene, capturing not only the subjects but also providing a glimpse into the process of photography during this era. The camera equipment is noticeably bulky compared to modern standards, highlighting how far technology has advanced since 1904.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into Spanish society at the turn of the century. It serves as a reminder of both how much has changed over time and how some aspects of human nature remain timeless - such as our desire to document special moments with loved ones through photography.
