EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event on board the battleship Formidable in Villefranche Harbour, France, in 1896. Created by renowned artist Henri Meyer and featured in Le Petit Journal on March 1st of that year, this illustration showcases the vibrant atmosphere of a ball taking place on the ship. The image depicts boats filled with elegantly dressed people making their way towards the battleship. The colorful attire and lively expressions of those aboard reflect the excitement and anticipation surrounding this grand occasion. Set against the backdrop of Villefranche sur Mer, nestled within Alpes Maritimes along the Mediterranean Sea, it is evident that this celebration took place amidst breathtaking geographical features. Transportation by water played a significant role during this era, as depicted by various boats dotting the harbor. The imposing presence of warships further emphasizes France's naval power during the nineteenth century. Henri Meyer's artistic prowess shines through his masterful engraving technique and use of color to bring life to this scene from history. Preserved for posterity by AccuSoft Inc. , this print serves as a testament to both Meyer's talent and our collective heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an enchanting moment aboard one of France's formidable battleships - forever captured within these intricately detailed lines and vivid hues.
