From One Regard to Another: Photographs of Etaples Before 1914

The pictures taken by three photographers, Gustave Souquet (1805-1867) and Louis Achille Caron (1847-1931), natives of Etaples and American painter Eanger Irving Couse (1866-1936), provide a moving testimony of life on the Opal Coast in around 1900. They invite one to travel in time through the architectural and social changes that shook the port of Etaples during this period, and through the careers of these three personalities, also illustrate the different aspects of photographic production at the turn of the century.
