EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph from 1886, we are transported back in time to witness an English family embarking on a memorable journey across the English Channel. The deck of the steamer serves as their gateway to a continental holiday in France, and it is here that we find them taking in the invigorating sea air. The photograph captures a picturesque scene filled with delightful details. Two little girls, arm-in-arm with their older brother, hold onto their cherished dolls tightly as they brace themselves against the gusts of wind. Scarves and bonnet ribbons dance almost horizontally in the breeze, adding movement and life to the image. On deck, folding stools provide seating for these adventurous travelers while luggage rests upon a bench nearby. A leather hatbox stands proudly among their belongings - perhaps holding treasured mementos or essentials for their vacation ahead. This snapshot not only showcases British tourism during this era but also encapsulates the spirit of exploration and discovery that travel brings. It reminds us of simpler times when families embarked on journeys together, creating lasting memories along the way. As we gaze at this enchanting print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us be reminded of our own wanderlust and yearning for new experiences - just like this English family crossing over into unknown territories all those years ago.
