Sometimes, I wish life would slow down a little. I'm sure life between the 1920s and 1950s wasn't easy in many ways. People faced challenges we can hardly imagine today, and those decades were marked by some of the most difficult events in history.
But there's something about the slower pace of everyday life back then that I find myself missing, even though I never experienced it. A time when you didn't have hundreds of notifications competing for your attention. When you sat down with a cup of tea, opened a newspaper and took your time reading about what was happening in the world.
Of course, life wasn't necessarily simpler, but sometimes I think the way people experienced it was.
And if you feel a little nostalgic for those days too check this out: A vintage suitcase containing 50 original French newspapers dating from the 1920s to the 1950s. Fifty little windows into the past, with the stories, headlines and everyday concerns of another generation.
