EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph captures a quintessentially English scene from 1886, as a family enjoys the fresh sea air on deck while crossing the English Channel for France. The image is filled with delightful details that transport us back to a bygone era - two little girls clutching their dolls tightly, an older brother standing protectively beside them, and scarves and bonnet ribbons fluttering in the wind.
The deck of the steamer is adorned with folding stools, luggage piled on a bench, and a leather hatbox - all essential items for a Victorian family setting off on a continental holiday. The mother looks serene as she gazes out towards their destination, perhaps already planning the adventures that await them in France.
In the background, sailors go about their duties, adding to the nautical atmosphere of the scene. This image encapsulates not just a moment in time but also speaks to larger themes of travel, family bonding, and exploration. It reminds us of simpler times when crossing borders was an adventure in itself.
As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the sounds of seagulls overhead and feel the gentle rocking motion of the ship beneath our feet. It's a snapshot frozen in time that invites us to step into history and imagine ourselves alongside this English family embarking on their journey across the channel.
