Atelier Photographer Lévêque | Falaise #157 | 20230823 | 1-memo•com | TakeNode cae00c35-3210-4f21-932b-f7b04be5faea | Atelier Photographer Maurice Lévêque at 26 Grande Rue, Ault (Somme) France, date ca 1905 – 1913 (edited; original from Archives de la Somme #8FI2383).

Thanks to Maurice Lévêque’s postcards we now have many early 1900s images from the Picardy seaside resorts Onival and Ault, where he opened his atelier in 1905 at 26 Grande Rue. I found his atelier today in this postcard of the Grande Rue in Ault, he made before WW1. One of his postcards “3. – AULT. – La Plage et les Falaises, côté Cayeux” — which by the way shows 28. Grande-Rue — that was sent Aug 28th 1911 by Maria … was used in my recent film illustrating erosion of the coast over the last 100 years (see : Erosion Cliffs Ault 1911-2022 | Falaise #154 | 20230814 | 1-memo•com).
