EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Lyon, France, as seen from the Coteau de Fourvière (Fourvière Hill) in 1919. At the heart of the image lies the iconic Cathedrale St. Jean Baptiste (Cathedral of St. John the Baptist), its Gothic spires reaching towards the sky. The Rhone River, a major artery of the city, is seen winding gracefully through the frame, connecting the cathedral with the historic St. Anthony's Bridge in the distance. The bridge, with its elegant arches, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the scene, while the hillside of Fourvière, dotted with houses and trees, provides a picturesque backdrop. The play of light and shadow on the buildings and the river creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting the viewer to explore the rich history and culture of this enchanting city. The photograph, taken in 1919, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was just beginning to emerge from the shadows of the First World War. The enduring beauty of Lyon, with its stunning architecture and picturesque landscapes, shines through, reminding us of the power of art and history to inspire and captivate us. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Lyon and its landmarks, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
