EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Victorian history that is both morbid and intriguing. Bryan Entracte 24, dated back to 1884, showcases a group of women sitting around a coffin at the theatre. Among them is the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt, known for her dramatic performances on stage.
The scene takes place on a ferry crossing the channel between Calais and Dover, England and France. The women are dressed in typical Victorian attire, with somber expressions as they contemplate death and burial.
One woman holds onto a lifebelt, perhaps symbolizing the fragility of life itself. The caricatured faces of the women add an element of dark humor to this otherwise solemn setting.
As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to an era where death was ever-present and mourning rituals were deeply ingrained in society. The juxtaposition of theatricality and morbidity in this print is truly striking.
Bryan Entracte 24 serves as a reminder of our own mortality and the fleeting nature of life. It invites us to reflect on our own existence while marveling at the artistry and drama captured within its frame.
