EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Tréport-Mers, 1897: A Timeless Moment at the Seaside Resort This lithograph by Henri Gray (Boulanger) transports us back in time to the charming French seaside resort of Le Tréport-Mers in 1897. The image, created by the skilled hand of Gray, showcases the harmonious blend of the Chemins de fer du Nord et de l'Ouest railway and the picturesque coastal town. The steam locomotive, a symbol of the burgeoning rail transport revolution, proudly stands at the railway station, its mighty wheels and billowing smoke signaling the arrival of a new era of travel. The locomotive, a testament to the industrial prowess of the time, is dwarfed by the vast expanse of the sky and the tranquil sea, highlighting the contrast between the man-made marvel and the untouched beauty of nature. Beside the railway station, an inviting beach beckons, with sunbathers clad in bathing suits basking in the sun. The colorful swimsuits, a novelty at the time, add a vibrant touch to the scene. The gentle waves lap at the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that echoes the rhythm of life. The lithograph, a fine example of Art Nouveau graphic design, captures the essence of a bygone era. It encapsulates the spirit of tourism, as people flocked to the seaside resorts to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The image invites us to imagine the excitement of boarding a steam train, the anticipation of reaching a new destination, and the joy of immersing oneself in the simple pleasures of life by the sea.
