EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Port of Boulogne" takes us back to 1856, offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime city of Boulogne in France. The image, captured by early photographer Leon Auguste Asselineau, showcases the vibrant activity at the port with its array of ships and boats. From the vantage point on the western jetty facing Quai des Paquebots, one can appreciate the architectural beauty that lines the quayside. The intricate details of each vessel are brought to life through this colour lithograph, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a world where transport and trade were thriving. The presence of sailing boats, steamers, and even a tugboat adds depth and movement to this snapshot frozen in time. It is as if we are witnessing history unfold before our eyes. The sea serves as both a backdrop and an essential element connecting all these elements together. Asselineau's keen eye for composition captures not only the physical structures but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when photography was still in its infancy. This particular piece from his series entitled "La France de Nos Jours" offers us a window into how people experienced life during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but marvel at how it transports us back in time – reminding us that every photograph has its own story waiting to be discovered.
