EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled "The Chasse Maree" captures the essence of smuggling and the thrill of the chase in early 20th century England. The detailed illustration, originally featured on a set of cigarette cards by Ogden's in 1932, depicts a dramatic scene at sea as smugglers attempt to outrun authorities in their pursuit vessel.
The dynamic composition and rich colours bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the daring exploits of smugglers during a time when illicit activities were rampant along the English coast. The intricate details of the ship, waves crashing against its hull, and figures engaged in high-stakes action create a sense of urgency and excitement that is palpable even decades later.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with danger, intrigue, and adventure on the high seas. The artist's skillful rendering of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, drawing us into a world where smugglers operated under cover of darkness but could not escape the long arm of justice forever.
"The Chasse Maree" serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a window into history, reminding us of the enduring allure of tales about smugglers and their daring escapades.
