EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at an Anglo-French Watering-Place, Granville" takes us back to the picturesque coastal town of Granville in 1879. Created by the talented artist Harry Furniss and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant holiday atmosphere that once graced this charming seaside destination. The scene is filled with activity as vacationers enjoy their leisurely pursuits. The attached sketches showcase people engaged in various recreational activities such as sketching, bathing, and simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of a typical day at this anglo-french watering place. Granville's coastline serves as an idyllic backdrop for these scenes, with its pristine beaches stretching out towards the sparkling sea. The French influence is evident through details like the pugaree worn by one of the bathers and what seems to be a humorous depiction of "a Frenchman's notion of bathing". This engraving not only transports us to another time but also highlights the cultural exchange between England and France during this period. It reminds us of how European destinations have long been popular choices for summer vacations and holidays. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it invites us to appreciate both artistic skill and our shared love for coastal getaways.
