Martigues 1954.
On a sun-drenched corner of the Rue Charbonniers in Martigues, 1954, daily life unfolds. A large, faded advertisement for 'ST. RAPHAEL Quinquina' covers the wall above the 'LYRE BAR' and a tobacconist, while laundry hangs from upper windows. In the street, a young man pushes a bicycle as other pedestrians cross in front of a Citroën Traction Avant. The bright sunlight casts sharp, dark shadows, defining the mid-century scene.
