EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, titled "People on the shore waving off a steamship" we are transported back to a bustling riverside scene from the 19th century. The print captures a moment of excitement and farewell as people gather along the shore, eagerly waving goodbye to a majestic steamship departing into the distance. The artist, A. Provost, skillfully depicts the vibrant atmosphere with meticulous attention to detail. The steamship proudly flies a tricolour flag, symbolizing its national identity and perhaps hinting at an important voyage ahead. Its paddle wheels churn through the water, leaving behind gentle ripples that reflect sunlight like shimmering diamonds. As our gaze shifts towards the shoreline, we witness an array of emotions etched upon each face in this diverse crowd. Some wave handkerchiefs or hats high above their heads while others strain their eyes to catch one last glimpse of loved ones aboard the vessel. It is a poignant reminder of how travel during this era was not only an adventure but also often marked by long separations from family and friends. This lithograph transports us back in time and invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this lively scene filled with anticipation and heartfelt farewells. Through Provost's artistry, we can almost hear distant cheers mingling with seagulls' cries as they bid adieu to those embarking on their journey aboard this magnificent steamship.
