EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print, titled 'The Morning Lounge at Biarritz,' transports us back in time to the picturesque seaside resort on the southwestern coast of France in 1866. A decade after being made fashionable by Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, Biarritz was the epitome of Victorian elegance and sophistication. In this scene, we witness the hustle and bustle of the morning lounge, where bathers and onlookers mingle on the sandy shores. The water is dotted with swimmers, some gracefully floating, while others are learning the art of swimming, guided by instructors. The beachgoers, dressed in their Victorian finery, seem somewhat overdressed for the occasion, yet they relish the opportunity to enjoy the invigorating sea breeze and the refreshing waters. The facilities at the lounge are evident, with bathhouses and changing rooms visible in the background. The scene exudes an air of leisure and relaxation, as the sun casts a warm glow over the tranquil bay. The Morning Lounge at Biarritz was a testament to the enduring appeal of the seaside as a retreat from the rigors of daily life, and this enchanting print offers a glimpse into the opulence and charm of a bygone era.
