EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Rouen Prise du Cours-la-Reine" takes us back to the late 19th century in France. Captured between 1865 and 1905, this image showcases a bustling scene along the picturesque river of Rouen. The photogravure technique used in this print beautifully captures the intricate details of the landscape. In the foreground, we see a boat and barge gracefully gliding through the calm waters, symbolizing the importance of water transport during that era. Lush trees and plants frame both sides of the riverbank, creating a serene atmosphere for those strolling along Cours-la-Reine promenade. The panoramic view offered by this etching allows us to appreciate not only nature's beauty but also gain insight into French history. It is fascinating to imagine how life must have been during this time period – people going about their daily activities, boats transporting goods across rivers as an essential mode of transportation. Published in F. L Leipnik's comprehensive book on French etching history from the 16th century until then-present day (1924), this print serves as a valuable historical document. Its monochromatic aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia while emphasizing its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it transports us back in time to experience firsthand what life was like in Rouen during its heyday. This print truly encapsulates both natural beauty and cultural significance within one frame.
