EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Godille" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the history of transportation. The artwork showcases a beautifully detailed illustration of a boat known as a godille, which was commonly used during that era for passenger transportation. The godille depicted in this print is an exquisite example of French craftsmanship. Its elegant design and intricate details highlight the skill and artistry of the engraver who brought it to life. This particular piece was featured in the renowned Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury, published in 1888. As we admire this historical artifact, we are transported to an era where boats like these played a vital role in connecting people across vast bodies of water. The godille served as both a means of transport and an emblematic symbol of progress during its time. Through this enchanting image, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance that such vessels held within society. It serves as a reminder of how far our methods of transportation have evolved over time while honoring the rich history behind them. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to extraordinary pieces from their private collection through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to immerse ourselves in moments frozen within these remarkable engravings.
