EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1935, transports us back to a time when holiday departures were filled with anticipation and excitement. The image captures the bustling scene at Gare du Nord railway station in Paris, as people from all walks of life arrive to embark on their much-awaited vacations. The grandeur of the train station's hall is evident in this general plan shot, showcasing its architectural beauty and vastness. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we catch a glimpse of an employee diligently performing his cleaning duties, ensuring that every corner remains spotless for the travelers' convenience. The timeless charm of this photograph lies not only in its monochromatic palette but also in the sense of unity it portrays. Travelers from different backgrounds come together under one roof, bound by their shared desire for adventure and exploration. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of rail travel - a mode of transport that has connected people across distances for centuries. This particular moment captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP) serves as a testament to France's rich transportation history while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when holidays were embarked upon with great enthusiasm. Without mentioning any commercial use or specific company involved, this print invites us to reflect on our own experiences with travel and ignites our imagination about what stories these holiday-bound voyagers might have had waiting for them at their destinations.
