This medieval fortress has guarded the mouth of the Penfeld river for over 1,700 years and provides a dramatic vantage point of the city's maritime heart. The harbor is shown filled with sailing vessels and early industrial warehouses, with a smoking chimney in the distance signaling the city's growth as a major naval and trading hub. This photograph documents the rugged coastal beauty and strategic importance of Brittany's largest port city during the Belle Époque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (1906-1913)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Brest\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Finistere (Brittany)\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Maritime History, French Ports, Medieval Fortresses, Industrial Landscapes\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: Unposted; no postmark or stamp\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Neurdein (ND)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Neurdein et Cie, Paris\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Crété (Imp.

The card was published by the renowned firm Neurdein et Cie (identifiable by the ND Phot. logo on the front and the company address at 52 Avenue de Breteuil, Paris, on the back). This specific address and the typography of the \"Carte Postale\" header were used prior to the company's 1913 merger with Levy Fils \u0026amp; Cie. The card is numbered 110 in their extensive French topographical series. Because much of the port and the old city of Brest were heavily damaged during World War II, this card remains an important visual record of the area's pre-war industrial and architectural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46731018272957,"sku":"2946","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2946.jpg?v=1777779884","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2946","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
