EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Wandering Artist at Nice captures the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of this bustling French city in a delightful colour lithograph. Created by Phil May in 1893 for The Graphic, this illustration offers a charming glimpse into the daily life of Nice during that era. In the foreground, we see a group of figures representing different nationalities - Frenchmen, Jews, Germans, and Americans - mingling together on the crowded streets. The wandering artist himself is depicted smoking his pipe as he observes the lively scene before him. His sketchbook filled with notes suggests that he is capturing these moments to immortalize them through his art. The setting is Hotel Milliet, known for its popularity among tourists from all over Europe and North America. The promenade des Anglais can be seen in the background, lined with elegant buildings and visitors strolling along its picturesque walkway. This print not only showcases the cosmopolitan nature of Nice but also highlights its significance as a tourist destination during that time period. It reflects how people from various backgrounds came together in this comparatively small place to experience Provence's beauty and charm. May's attention to detail brings out both humor and familiarity in each character portrayed. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back to an era when travel was still considered an adventure and exploring new cultures was highly valued.
