EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour photograph, titled "View of Meulan-en-Yvelines, Paris" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases the picturesque beauty of this French town. The image was captured by an anonymous French photographer and is now part of a private collection. Meulan-en-Yvelines holds historical significance as it hosted sailing events during both the 1900 and 1924 Olympic Games. This particular print was featured in an article on sailing in Paris published in Le Figaro Illustre magazine in August 1894. The photo transports us to a leisurely day on the river, where dinghies gracefully glide through the water. The scene is framed by a charming bridge that connects both sides of Meulan-en-Yvelines, adding architectural charm to the natural splendor surrounding it. We can almost feel the tranquility emanating from this idyllic setting. The vibrant colours bring life to every detail captured: from the sparkling water reflecting sunlight to each sail billowing with wind. It's a testament not only to the skillful photography but also to France's rich culture and love for yachting. This print serves as a reminder of how artistry can freeze moments in time, allowing future generations like ours to appreciate and admire scenes that would otherwise be lost forever. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back over a century ago when Meulan-en-Yvelines stood as an emblematic location for sporting excellence amidst breathtaking landscapes along the Seine
