Bruges Place Simon Stevin Belgium Street Scene Postcard c1920

Bruges (Brugge), West Flanders, Belgium1920Pre-linenGood
Black-and-white photographic postcard of the Place Simon Stevin (Simon Stevinplein), Bruges (Brugge), Belgium. The view looks across the lively square toward the junction with Steenstraat, with the soaring brick tower of Sint-Salvatorskathedraal (Saint Salvator's Cathedral) rising prominently in the background. In the foreground, pedestrians in early 20th-century dress — women in long coats and hats, a man on a bicycle, children — animate the cobblestone square. A street market with awnings and stalls occupies the left side. At centre, a corner shop bears the sign 'SSEAUX AU BÉBÉ - LAYETTES' (a baby goods and layette retailer) at number 21, with an ornate stepped gable above. Tram wires and utility poles cross the sky. On the right, a shop sign reads 'WAPENS JACHTGERIEF' (arms and hunting supplies). The Nels publisher logo — a circular monogram — appears top centre of the image. Published by Ernest Thill, Bruxelles — Série 19, No. 84. Divided back format. Unused and unposted.
