EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Quay at Boulogne" takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in the charming coastal town of Boulogne, France. The image captures a bustling scene at the quay, where fishwives proudly display their wares in traditional wicker baskets strapped to their backs. These hardworking women don wooden clogs as they go about their daily business. In the background, fishing ships with billowing sails dot the harbor, symbolizing the vibrant maritime industry that sustains this picturesque town. This print is part of a travel book for children during Victorian times and was created by Thomas Crane and Ellen E Houghton in 1882. Thomas Crane, known for his role as Art Director for Marcus Ward & Co. , collaborated with his cousin Ellen Houghton on this delightful illustration. Their work transports readers into an enchanting world filled with vivid imagery and evocative storytelling.

It serves as a window into not only French society but also offers insights into social history and literary arts prevalent during that era.
