EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Gypsy caravans encamped by the shoreline at Dives-Sur-Mer, Houlgate-Saint-Clair, near Cabourg in Basse-Normandie, France, in the year 1904. The image presents a glimpse into the nomadic lifestyle of the Gypsy community during this era, with their colorful and intricately decorated caravans arranged in a semi-circle, facing the tranquil waters of the English Channel. In the background, the towering spire of the Romanesque-style Notre-Dame de l'Isle church can be seen, adding a sense of historical context to the scene. The Gypsies, also known as Gitans, have a rich and complex history, with their origins tracing back to India over 1,000 years ago. They have long been known for their distinctive culture, language, music, and art, as well as their nomadic way of life. This photograph offers a rare and intimate look into their world, frozen in time, and provides a fascinating window into the past.
