EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed artwork captures the bustling atmosphere of the Bailles de Fer market square in Mechelen, Belgium, circa 1915. The square, named for its ornate wrought iron balustrades that once protected the old canal, is filled with merchants and customers gathered at the base of an ornate building. The building's facade is adorned with a sculpture of Romulus, who served as an auction house, adding to the market's lively energy. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this October 1915 scene, from the voluminous skirts of the women to the intricate patterns of the merchants' stalls, transport us back in time. This artwork, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Mechelen, Belgium.
