    La France rurale en 1900

    Photos Anciennes:  La France rurale en 1900

     

     
    L'ouvrage "Visages d'une France rurale" présente des images des campagnes françaises et de leurs habitants datées du début du XXe siècle. De vraies pépites historiques. Ici, dans les Landes, les animaux et les familles paysannes partagent la pièce à vivre. En 1929, une loi a interdit de faire dormir le personnel dans les mêmes pièces que les animaux.

    LA CHANTEUSE DE COMPLAINTES

    Chanteuse bretonne
    Au début des années 1900, dans les campagnes, circulent encore des voitures à chiens. Ici, une chanteuse de complaintes dirige cet attelage. Ces chanteuses itinérantes allaient de place en place et, pour quelques sous, faisaient le récits de faits divers effrayants. Cette carte postale permet de redécouvrir cette ancienne coutume bretonne.

    DES EXPLOITS ÉTONNANTS

    Exploits
    Dans l'ouvrage "Visages d'une France rurale", Hypolite Gancel et Rosine Lagier présentent également ces figures étonnantes du début du XXe siècle. En 1908, Louis Coulon, mouleur aux usines Saint-Jacques de Montluçon, a ainsi réussi à faire pousser une barbe de 3 m 35.

    LA VIE ARTISANALE AU DÉBUT DU SIÈCLE

    Vie artisanale
    Dans cette maison du Finistère, à Bannalec, une famille fabrique des tamis et de cribles, ces appareils pour nettoyer et trier le grain. Au début du XXe siècle, l'artisanat traditionnel est encore bien développé.

    LES DENTELIÈRES À L'OUVRAGE

    Dentelières
    Au début du XXe siècle, les artisans du textile sont divers : tailleur, couturière, bobineur, dentellière, fabricante de bonnets en coton, chiffonnier... Ici, des dentelières sont à l'oeuvre, en Haute-Loire. Un savoir-faire de précision.

    LES SCHLITTEURS, CES TRANSPORTEURS DE BOIS

    Schlitteurs
    C'est surtout dans les forêts vosgiennes (photo) que s'utilise la "schlitte" (mot qui dérive de l'allemand "Schlitten" signifiant traineau). Les schlitteurs transportent le bois sur des chemins de schlittage. Ils freinent la descente de leur chargement. C'est un métier dangereux.

    LES CHARRONS EN 1900

    Charrettes et charrons
    En 1900, les charrons sont les ouvriers qui fabriquent et réparent les chariots, charrettes et autres voitures. A Mohon, dans le Morbihan, ces artisans posent avec les roues de ces véhicules pour présenter leur atelier "Le Floch".

    L'ARRACHEUR DE DENTS SUR LA PLACE PUBLIQUE

    Arracheur de dents
    En 1900, le brossage de dents n'est pas une pratique développée et les problèmes dentaires sont répandus. Si les villageois ne se rendent que très exceptionnellement chez le dentiste, il peut arriver qu'ils fassent appel à un arracheur de dents. Celui-ci officie en plein air, les jours de foire.

    A L'ÉCOLE EN 1900

    Ecole
    En 1900, les classes ne sont pas mixtes. Les enfants commencent l'école à 8 ans, avec six heures de classe par jour. Beaucoup des enfants de paysans ne suivent les cours que durant l'hiver, aidant le reste de l'année aux travaux de la ferme. Sans oublier le catéchisme. Ici, une classe de garçons , à Lamerey, dans les Vosges.

    LE TABAC À PRISER

    Tabac
    Au début du XXe siècle, le tabac se cultive en France, notamment en Gironde, dans le Lot, le Lot-et-Garonne, la Dordogne, les départements alpins, certaines zones du nord et de l'est de la France. A l'époque, le tabac  se fume, se mâche ou se prise (photo).

    Les petits métiers de Paris dans les années 1900

     

     

    Photos Anciennes:  Les petits métiers de Paris dans les années 1900

     

    Au début du XXe siècle, le photographe Louis Vert a capturé des images touchantes du "petit peuple" parisien. Des clichés en noir et blanc à redécouvrir aujourd'hui, grâce à la Société française de photographie, qui nous ouvre sa collection. Ici, une vendeuse de légumes, avec sa carriole et sa balance. A l'arrière-plan, on remarquera des annonces pour des cours de dessin... Lire la suite

    UNE VENDEUSE DE GLACES

    Vendeuse de glaces
    Cette marchande de glaces sur le pavé parisien a réussi à attirer quelques clients. Dans cette série, Louis Vert (1865-1924) a photographié toute une galerie de vendeurs ambulants de la capitale.

    DANS LES URINOIRS

    Urinoirs
    Sur ce cliché, Louis Vert a capturé un homme âgé chargé du nettoyage des urinoirs. Sur ce mobilier urbain s'affichent des publicités, dont l'une pour le déstockage de magasins chics : "Habillez-vous richement avec les laissés pour compte des grands tailleurs". Les "laissés pour compte", un parallèle du photographe avec la situation de vieux balayeur ? 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    LE NETTOYAGE DU PAVÉ PARISIEN

    Nettoyage du pavé parisien
    Dans sa série "Les petits métiers" (1900-1906), qui compte pas moins de 85 sujets, Louis Vert a notamment photographié un "arroseur à la lance place de la Concorde". Une photographie qui dévoile un ancien système de tuyauterie.

    UNE MARCHANDE DE BALLONS

    Marchande de ballons
    Ce cliché permet d'observer, plus de 100 ans après, les tenues portées par les marchandes ambulantes du début du XXe siècle. Et un landau d'époque.

    UN PÂTISSIER AMBULANT

    Pâtissier ambulant
    Toujours au début du XXe siècle, ce pâtissier ambulant appâtait les enfants et leurs parents avec ses douceurs autour du bassin du jardin du Luxembourg.

    DE LA SOUPE VENDUE DANS LA RUE

    Marchande de soupe
    Cette marchande de soupes réchauffait les passants. Mais attention, ici pas question d'emporter son achat comme cela se fait aujourd'hui : à consommer sur place, dans des bols fournis par la cuisinière et récupérés ensuite. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    CHAUDS, LES MARRONS !

    Marrons
    La vente de marrons chauds, une vraie tradition en France, puisque ce vendeur attirait déjà les passants à Paris, au début du XXe siècle.

    DES CLICHÉS INSTANTANÉS

    Balayeuse
    Lors de l'hommage rendu à Louis Vert en 1925, quelques mois après sa mort, la Société d'Excursions des Amateurs de Photographies soulignait la qualité du travail de cet artiste amateur. "L'instantané en photographie n'est pas toujours facile et bien que nombre d'amateurs le pratiquent couramment, bien peu arrivent à des résultats vraiment intéressants". (Louis Vert, photographe de l'animation de la rue à Paris, Alain Fourquier, "Au bibliophile parisien") 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    ISSU D'UN MILIEU MODESTE

    Milieu modeste
    Le photographe amateur Louis Vert était issu d'un milieu modeste, d'où peut-être la proximité avec les Parisiens "simples" qu'il a immortalisés, qui se dégage de ses clichés. Parallèlement à sa passion pour la photographie, il exerçait le métier d'imprimeur, dans l'imprimerie familiale. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    UN TÉMOIGNAGE HISTORIQUE

    Témoignage historique
    Les clichés de Louis Vert constituent un vrai témoignage historique. Outre les petits métiers et ouvriers aux activités disparues ou presque (ci-dessus), celui-ci avait également photographié les clochards à Paris. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    CARTES POSTALES ET PANIERS

    Cartes postales
    Sur cette image apparaît la petite pancarte "les cartes postales des Halles se vendent au 106 rue de Rambuteau". Au haut de l'échelle, l'appareil photo. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    A L'AFFÛT DES "CRIS DE PARIS"

    Cris de Paris
    Louis Vert, à travers ses clichés, était à la recherche des "cris de Paris", prononcés par ces personnages ambulants qui trottaient sur le pavé parisien et peu à peu remplacés par des kiosques et autres boutiques. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    UN PIONNIER DU PHOTO-REPORTAGE

    Pionnier
    En 2009, des photos de Louis Vert ont été exposées au Jeu de Paume. Le catalogue de cette exposition sur "les amateurs photographes autour de 1900 dans les collections de la Société française de photographie" décrivait cet homme comme un "pionnier du photo-reportage". 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    UN PEINTRE À L'OUVRAGE

    Peintre
    Dans sa série photographique, Louis Vert n'a pas seulement immortalisé les marchands de la capitale. Les artistes ont aussi leur place sur le pavé. 
    ©  Louis Vert / Société française de photographie

    EN SAVOIR PLUS

    Dans sa collection, qui est la plus importante collection privée de photographies historiques en Europe, la Société française de photographie (SFP), association qui existe depuis 159 ans, dispose de ces images exceptionnelles prises par Louis Vert (1865-1924). Ce photographe amateur est un pionnier du photo-reportage et a parcouru les trottoirs parisiens pour immortaliser les "petits métiers", mais aussi les clochards de la capitale au début du XXe siècle.

    Les Bédouins

     

    Environ 4 millions de Bédouins vivent principalement dans les désert d'Arabie et Syrie, le désert du Sinaï et le Sahara, reconnaissables par leurs dialectes arabes, culture arabe et structure sociale spécifiques. De nos jours, seuls environ 5 % des Bédouins du Moyen-Orient sont des nomades vivant de l'élevage des caprins, des ovins et des camélidés. Quelques Bédouins du Sinaï sont encore semi-nomades. Pour certains Bédouins, il ne faut qu'appartenir à une tribu bédouine pour se revendiquer Bédouin, mais pour d'autres il faut de plus mener une vie de nomade, ce qui en exclut les sédentaires.

     

    Le mot Bédu veut dire « habitant du désert » en arabe, Bédouin est le pluriel du mot, même si Bédu peut aussi être utilisé comme un pluriel.
