EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by James Batkin in 1898, showcases the Market Square in Brussels. The Grand Place, as it is commonly known, suffered significant damage during the French artillery bombardment of 1695. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the city's guilds, these magnificent buildings were meticulously reconstructed over a span of four years. The architectural features displayed in this image are truly remarkable. The baroque style prevalent during the 17th century is evident through intricate gables and ornate detailing on each building. These structures stand proudly against a backdrop that exudes history and charm. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we can observe people bustling about their daily lives within this vibrant square. Their presence adds life and movement to an otherwise static scene. Brussels itself serves as a testament to Belgium's rich cultural heritage. This particular location embodies both its historical significance and its enduring beauty. Through Batkin's lens, we are transported back to a bygone era where grandeur met everyday life. James Batkin has masterfully captured not only the physical landscape but also the essence of this enchanting place. His photographic collection offers us a glimpse into Holland and Belgium's past—a visual treasure trove for those fascinated by architecture and European history alike.
