Twee prentbriefkaarten van het bezoek van de Franse president Fallières in Den Haag Possibly 1911 - 1917

These two black and white postcards capture a moment in time when French President Fallières visited The Hague. It's like peeking into a different world, isn't it? I wonder, what was it like to take photos back then? No instant previews or filters, just the click of a button and waiting to see what you’d captured. The photographer, whoever they were, was trying to freeze a moment, to say, "Look, this happened, this is important." These images remind me that every artist, in their own way, is trying to grab something fleeting and make it stay. We’re all trying to communicate, to connect, to leave a mark. And that, in itself, is a pretty amazing thing.
