EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Brittany's Emerald Coast in the 1910s, with two traditional Bisquines Cancalaises gracefully sailing off the shores of Dinard. The Bisquines Cancalaises, a distinctive type of Breton fishing boat, have been a staple of the region's maritime culture for centuries. Their unique design, featuring a narrow hull, high freeboard, and a single mast with a square sail, allowed them to navigate the rough waters of the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay with ease. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and timelessness, as the boats glide effortlessly over the shimmering waves, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. The coastline of Brittany, with its rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, forms a picturesque backdrop to the tableau. The vibrant colors of the boats' wooden hulls and rigging contrast beautifully with the lush greenery of the cliffs and the azure sea. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Brittany and the enduring appeal of its traditional fishing craft. It invites us to imagine a simpler time, when the rhythm of the tides and the bounty of the sea shaped the daily lives of the people who called this beautiful region home.
