EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quai de la Ferraille, 19th Century" takes us back in time to the bustling docks of the 19th century. The artist, Frederic Theodore Lix, beautifully captures the raucous atmosphere of this French quay. In this lively scene, we see a crowd gathered outside a public house or tavern along the scarp iron quay. People are engaged in animated conversations while enjoying their drinks. The depiction of drunkards adds an element of realism to the illustration. The presence of Victor Hugo's work is evident here as well. This print is an illustration from Toute la Lyre and Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo. Hugo was a renowned French poet, novelist, and dramatist known for his contributions to literature during the Romantic movement. Lix's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure seems to have its own story within this bustling environment. The rough textures and intricate lines used in this engraving add depth and character to each element captured on paper. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can't help but be transported back in time - witnessing not only a vivid depiction of daily life but also feeling immersed in the energy that emanates from these dockside scenes.
