EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 1913, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The postcard features an oyster fisher, elegantly dressed in traditional French costume, standing on a picturesque beach. With a basket slung over her arm and fishing implements at her side, she exudes strength and determination. Sent by a French Photographer from the 20th century, this postcard is now part of a private collection. It offers us a glimpse into the past when communication relied heavily on postal services. The image showcases not only the beauty of coastal France but also highlights the importance of oyster catching as an industry during that period. The photograph perfectly captures the serenity of the sea and coastline, with its pristine shoreline stretching out behind our fisherwoman. The composition evokes feelings of tranquility and nostalgia for simpler times. As we admire this historic snapshot frozen in time, let's appreciate how photography has allowed us to preserve moments like these for generations to come. This image serves as a reminder of both cultural heritage and maritime history intertwined with daily life activities such as fishing. Through this postcard print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where tradition met innovation through visual storytelling.
