Leaving for the Country - A Glimpse into 1920s Family Vacation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Leaving for the country" takes us back to a bygone era of the early 20th century. Illustrated by Ferdinand Raffin around 1920, this color lithograph was originally featured in a school textbook. The scene depicts a bustling departure as a well-to-do family prepares to embark on their countryside vacation. Loaded with luggage and excitement, they gather outside their elegant French residence. The vintage car stands ready, packed to the brim with suitcases and trunks while children eagerly await their adventure. Intriguingly, we catch sight of two figures that add depth to this snapshot of history. A servant and maid can be seen assisting the family in organizing their belongings—a testament to societal norms during that time. The image exudes an air of anticipation and joy as it encapsulates the essence of holidays in the 1920s. The countryside beckons with promises of tranquility and escape from city life's hustle and bustle. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this illustration offers us a glimpse into an era long past—where families embarked on vacations filled with exploration and discovery amidst nature's embrace. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection, let us transport ourselves back in time—to an age where simplicity reigned supreme—and imagine what adventures awaited these fortunate souls as they ventured into France's picturesque countryside.
