Step back in time with these historic photographs, capturing moments from the late 19th century. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of various regions, starting with a glimpse into the lives of Tartars and people from the Kakasus region in Russia. Dressed in their traditional costumes, this photograph transports us to around 1890. Moving on to France, we find ourselves standing on Rue Chapeau Rouge, gazing at Place Richelieu in Bordeaux. This digitally enhanced reproduction of a photochrome print from 1895 allows us to witness the bustling streets and architectural marvels that adorned Nouvelle-Aquitaine during that era. Next up is Dinan, a charming town nestled in Brittany. The general view captured here showcases its timeless beauty circa 1890. With its cobblestone streets and picturesque buildings, it's no wonder this place has stood the test of time. Our journey through France continues as we arrive at Cape Lihou in Normandy. This historic photograph takes us back to c. 1890 when visitors would have marveled at its rugged cliffs and breathtaking views over Granville. As we cross Bridge La Trauchee des Anglais also located in Granville, another snapshot from c. 1890 awaits us. This bridge played an integral role for locals and tourists alike as they traversed between different parts of Normandy. Heading north towards Dunkirk, we catch a glimpse of history unfolding before our eyes through this port exit photograph taken around c. 1890. Witnessing ships sailing out into the vast sea reminds us of Dunkerque's maritime significance throughout centuries gone by. Venturing southwards now brings us to Gourdon where a magnificent bridge spans across Wolf Gorge near Grasse within Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region circa 1890s. This digitally enhanced reproduction offers insight into engineering feats accomplished during that period while showcasing the natural beauty of the area.
