EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Au Lac du Bourget" takes us back to the enchanting era of September 1895. The cover of Le Figaro Illustre, a renowned French magazine, showcases this exquisite colour lithograph created by Gustave Bourgain (c. 1855-1921). The scene unfolds at the picturesque Lac du Bourget, nestled amidst the majestic Jura Mountains in France. A group of elegantly dressed women and girls gather on a jetty, bidding farewell to a departing boat. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the late 19th century with flowing skirts, stylish blouses, and straw hats adorning their heads. As one woman waves goodbye from aboard the boat, her expressive gesture conveys both excitement and nostalgia. The painting skillfully captures the serene beauty of nature surrounding them - calm waters reflecting distant mountains that seem to embrace this idyllic setting. Transportation plays a significant role in this artwork; boats and even a tugboat are depicted as vital means for passenger transportation during that time period. This image offers us an insight into not only French culture but also into how people traveled across lakes like Lac du Bourget in those days. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this print evokes a sense of wonderment about life in 19th-century France while inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless charm.
