EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back to the year 1905, when Boulogne sur Mer was a thriving seaside resort on the French coast. The poster, created by Henri Gray, showcases an advertisement for the renowned Chemins de Fer du Nord railway company promoting this idyllic holiday destination. In this picturesque scene, we see a group of happy bathers enjoying their leisure time on the beach. Dressed in elegant Edwardian costumes, women and children are seen frolicking in the sea and playing with pure joy. The image exudes a sense of carefree pleasure that is synonymous with vacationing at such charming coastal towns. The colors used in this lithograph are strikingly vivid, adding to its overall allure. Shades of blue depict the vastness of the sea while warm tones highlight the sandy beach where families gather to create unforgettable memories. Boulogne sur Mer's popularity as a tourist spot during that era is evident from this vintage artwork. It captures not only the essence of relaxation but also promotes France as an ideal vacation destination for people seeking tranquility and fun-filled experiences. This remarkable piece serves as both an advertisement and a historical artifact, transporting us back to a time when life seemed simpler yet filled with endless possibilities for enjoyment along France's beautiful coastline.
