EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of La Rochelle in 1890. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this historic location is undeniable. La Rochelle, situated on the Bay of Biscay in France, holds a significant place in history as a center for Huguenots from 1558 onwards. This bustling harbor town opens into the protected strait known as Pertuis d'Antioche, providing safe passage for boats entering and exiting its waters. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a busy scene filled with various types of vessels navigating through the sea. Fishing boats gracefully glide across the water's surface while sailboats elegantly dot the horizon. The presence of rowing boats adds an element of charm to this maritime landscape. The background people add life and movement to the picture, giving us a glimpse into daily life during that era. As we admire this monochrome engraving taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" compiled by Edmund Ollier, we are transported back to an age where literature and art were intertwined with geographical exploration. This print serves as a testament to La Rochelle's rich historical heritage and its significance as both a religious and cultural hub. It invites us to reflect upon centuries past while appreciating the enduring beauty that still exists today within this charming French coastal city.
