1860s Boatyard Construction Mast Masts Shipyard Guyenne Morell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Guienne" and created by L. Morell in 1867, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of France during the 19th century. The image depicts a bustling boatyard scene, with several ships under construction and others being repaired or prepared for transport. The ships, with their tall masts and sails unfurled, are a testament to the importance of water transport during this era. The location of this scene is not explicitly stated, but the title "Guienne" suggests that it may be from the region of the same name, which is now part of southwestern France. The ships in the image appear to be traditional vessels, likely used for cargo transport or fishing, reflecting the diverse economic activities of the region. L. Morell's photograph is a valuable heritage art piece that transports us back in time to an era of manual labor, craftsmanship, and reliance on the sea for transportation. The intricate details of the ships, the workers, and the boatyard environment are beautifully captured in this monochrome image, making it a must-see for anyone interested in maritime history, 19th-century photography, or the industrial revolution. This rare and stunning photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and culture of France during the 1860s. The image's timeless quality and historical significance make it a treasure for art and history enthusiasts alike.
