EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Calais, Porte de la Mer" takes us back to late 19th century northern France. Drawn by the talented Thomas Crane in 1882, this illustration showcases the picturesque Sea Gate of Calais. The cobblestone street and charming French architecture transport us to a different era. Thomas Crane was not only an exceptional artist but also served as the Art Director for Marcus Ward & Co. His artistic prowess is evident in this detailed drawing, capturing every intricate element of the town's social history and Victorian charm. It is worth noting that Ellen Houghton, their cousin, collaborated with him on this project. The image offers a glimpse into life during the late 19th century in Calais—a bustling town filled with vibrant streets and a rich cultural heritage. The sea gate stands tall as a symbol of both protection and connection to distant lands beyond its shores. As we admire this historical illustration from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not just a place but an entire era. This artwork invites us to explore the beauty of French culture through its meticulous details and evocative portrayal of everyday life in Calais during that time period.
