EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Marseilles (colour litho)" takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in the bustling city of Marseilles. The image showcases a picturesque view of this famous European seaport, known for its rich history and cultural significance. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for a card from the game called "The Kingdoms Of Europe" by John Jaques. It beautifully captures the essence of Marseilles, with its charming Victorian architecture and lively atmosphere. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when Marseilles served as a vital hub for trade and commerce. The city's busy depot can be seen in the background, symbolizing its importance as a grain distribution center. With its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast, Marseilles has always been deeply connected to other European cities. This print not only celebrates the beauty of Marseilles but also highlights its role as an integral part of Europe's interconnected network. Through this artwork, we get a glimpse into 19th-century France - specifically Provence and Riviera regions - where players would immerse themselves in games that brought these iconic cities to life. It is truly fascinating how such simple playing cards could transport people to different places and times.
