t Stad van vroeger - Verdwenen parels van Antwerpen

Tanguy Ottomer

Who still remembers the chic Hotel Weber that has made way for the modern Antwerp Tower, or the green Geuzenhofkes on Rooseveltplaats where couples used to be formed? But Laundry Day's waving laundry in Kammenstraat has also become a reminder of times gone by, even if it wasn't that long ago. City guide TANGUY OTTOMER tells in a personal and accessible way about THE CITY OF THE PAST, and in particular about the DISAPPEARING PEARLS OF ANTWERP: about neighborhoods and squares in the city centre, about the buildings that once stood there and about the life that took place there at the time. played. His anecdotes are extensively illustrated with over 100 photographs from private and public archives, from black-and-white postcards from 1910 to personal family photos from the 1990s.
THE CITY OF THE EARLY is a declaration of love, but it is also a plea for careful handling of heritage. The great variety in the photo material makes this book a trip down memory lane for Antwerp residents of all ages, and for visitors who want to get to know the soul of the City of the past.
