EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "A Swimming Bath on the Seine at Paris" takes us back to the bustling city of 19th century France. Created by artist Durand Godefroy, this exquisite piece captures a moment of leisure and recreation along the iconic river. In this scene, we are transported to a vibrant swimming bath where Parisians seek respite from the summer heat. The artwork beautifully depicts men, women, and children enjoying themselves in the cool waters of the Seine. Their laughter and splashes fill the air as they revel in this communal oasis. Godefroy's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. From the architectural elements surrounding the bath to each individual figure captured with precision, he masterfully brings life to this snapshot of daily life in 19th century Paris. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic magazine on September 14th, 1872. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when swimming baths were not only places for relaxation but also social gathering spots. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and space. It invites us to imagine ourselves immersed in that lively atmosphere along with our ancestors who found solace and joy within these very same waters.
