Exploring the world of sleep and dreams, we delve into the captivating realm of historic beds. From Emile Galle's "Aube et Crepuscule" (1904), reimagined by Alan John Ainsworth (c2014-2017), to Juanita Lantz's Art Deco designs from the 1930s and 1940s, these masterpieces transport us to different eras. Aube et Crepuscule, meaning "Dawn and Twilight," embodies the ethereal beauty of the transition between day and night. In contrast, Lantz's beds evoke the glamour and sophistication of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Let's not forget the humble heroes of our past, like the railway worker in this vintage lithograph, who rescued a comrade from the wheels at the Marano station in Venice. As we journey through time, we also encounter luxurious first-class cabins on board the Victoria and intricately carved beds by Dorothy Posten. The world of beds is a fascinating exploration of art, history, and comfort. So, let us cherish the simple pleasure of a good night's sleep and the beautiful beds that cradle us through the night.
