This photograph, "Gezicht op Marseille" by Étienne Neurdein, captures a panoramic view of Marseille's harbor. Taken sometime before 1900, the image showcases the bustling port activity with numerous boats and a distant view of the city, including the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica atop the hill. Neurdein was a renowned French photographer known for his documentary and landscape work, capturing the essence of urban life in the late 19th century. This print, with its detailed depiction of Marseille's waterfront, stands as a testament to the artist's keen observation and the transformative power of photography in capturing the world around us.
