EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Les Isles de Lerins, a picturesque archipelago located off the coast of Cannes in the French Riviera. Dating back to the late 19th century, around 1890 to 1900, this coloured photograph offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. The historical setting is brought to life through the use of the photochrom process, a popular method during this era for producing colour prints from black and white negatives. The Isles de Lerins, consisting of four islands, have long been a source of inspiration for artists and visitors alike. In this photograph, the two largest islands, Saint-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, are prominently featured. Saint-Marguerite, with its imposing fortress, has a rich and intriguing history, having served as a prison for the Man in the Iron Mask. Saint-Honorat, the smaller of the two, is home to a monastery and is still inhabited by monks today. The serene waters surrounding the islands are dotted with boats, adding to the idyllic scene. The clear blue waters and sun-kissed shores evoke a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This photograph, with its rich colours and intriguing historical significance, transports us to a bygone era and invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of those who once called the Isles de Lerins home. A true treasure for history and photography enthusiasts, this nostalgic view of Les Isles de Lerins is a must-have for any collection.
