Our Wandering Artist at Marseilles
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of this French port city in the late 19th century. The colour lithograph, created by Phil May, showcases a diverse group of people from various nationalities congregating on a quay. In the morning light, we see an artist with his sketchbook in hand, capturing the lively street scenes unfolding before him. He is surrounded by Arabs selling rugs and locals going about their daily routines. The artist's appendage stands out as he sketches away, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. As afternoon approaches, visitors from different parts of Europe and North America stroll along the quay. They wear hats that represent their nationality - Italian, German or American - creating a colourful mix among the crowd. The old globe trotter takes notes on peculiar sights while engaging with fisherman and other vendors who have come to sell their wares. The image also highlights Marseilles' thriving trade industry as horse-drawn carriages transport goods such as tusks and flowers to marketplaces like Bourse and Cannebière. English shoeblacks work diligently nearby while police officers maintain order amidst the hustle and bustle. This print not only captures the preponderance of cultures found in Marseilles but also serves as a snapshot into European life during this time period. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of languages, colours, and traditions that make up this cosmopolitan city on France's southern coast.
