EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Facade of the Abbey of Saint-Gilles in southern France, circa 1910. The Benedictine monastery, a historic and spiritual landmark, is adorned with intricate stone arches, doors, and doorways that frame the entrance. The tranquility of the monastic setting is momentarily disrupted as two vegetable sellers take a break from their daily routine, sitting in front of their wares. Their cart and barrows are filled with an array of fresh produce, adding a splash of color and vitality to the monochrome scene. The sellers' relaxed posture and engaged conversation suggest a sense of community and connection to the local population. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 20th century and the simple pleasures of rural life. The Abbey of Saint-Gilles, with its rich history and picturesque facade, continues to stand as a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of the French countryside.
