EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating sketch from the early 20th century, circa 1901, taken from the esteemed "March of the Women Collection" available on Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative image, created by the renowned French caricaturist René Georges Hermann Paul (1862-1917), offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the stories of the three figures depicted. The foreground is dominated by a graceful lady, her delicate hand gently holding the brim of her decorative hat, her eyes gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean before her. Her elegant attire, with its flowing skirt and high collar, speaks of a bygone era of refinement and sophistication. Behind her, an older woman, her face etched with the lines of time, clutches her skirts in a protective gesture, her gaze fixed on the lady before her. Her expression suggests a deep connection or concern, perhaps a motherly concern for the younger woman's safety. In the background, a man, his weathered features and worn clothing indicative of a life spent toiling on the rocky terrain, makes his way towards the trio. He is equipped with a crook, a tool used for guiding livestock or navigating the treacherous terrain, adding an element of ruggedness and resilience to the scene. The trio stands on the edge of a rocky cliff, overlooking the vast, turquoise ocean. The craggy terrain, dotted with wildflowers and the occasional shrub, stretches out towards the horizon, creating a sense of isolation and wonder. The sky above is a canvas of shifting colors, from the brilliant orange and pink hues of the sunset to the deep blues and purples of the approaching night. This enchanting sketch, "Sur La Greve," invites us to imagine the stories of these three individuals and the connections that bind them together, transporting us to a time and place far removed from our own.
