EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures a poignant moment in Monte Carlo as the fishermen bid farewell to their loved ones. Created by Maurice Charles Mathieu Bonvoisin, also known as Mars, this colourful print showcases life on the Mediterranean coast between Marseilles and Genoa during the late 19th century. The scene is filled with a sense of romance and longing as women dressed in elegant attire wave goodbye to their sailor partners departing on fishing boats. The contrast between the locals and tourists is evident, highlighting the distinctions in class and culture. The bustling coastline of Monte Carlo serves as a backdrop for this emotional farewell. Bonvoisin's illustration was originally featured in "Aux Rives D Or" a publication that depicted various aspects of life along the Mediterranean coast. Through his artwork, he beautifully portrays not only the hard work of these fishermen but also the love and connection shared among them. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to an era where fishing was not just a means of livelihood but also an integral part of coastal communities' identity. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when handkerchiefs were waved fervently, symbolizing both hope for safe returns and heartfelt goodbyes. With its vivid colours and attention to detail, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into history while evoking feelings of nostalgia for days gone by.
