EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Dieppe's Duquesne Quay in the early 1900s. The quay, located in the heart of the historic port city in northern France, was a hive of activity, with fishmongers and fishwives selling their fresh catch to locals and visitors alike. In the foreground, a fishmonger is seen expertly arranging mussels in a large basket, while a fishwife, dressed in traditional attire, calls out to potential customers. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea. The wooden quay, worn smooth by the passage of time and the elements, stretches out into the harbor, with boats and fishing nets visible in the background. The Duquesne Quay was a vital part of Dieppe's economy, with the city's fishing industry providing a livelihood for many of its residents. The quay was also a popular destination for tourists, who came to sample the delicious seafood and enjoy the vibrant, colorful atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was more simple, and the connection to the sea was a fundamental part of daily life. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Dieppe and its rich maritime heritage.
