EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Waiting for the Ferry" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a moment of anticipation and tranquility as a Victorian lady sits gracefully on a chair by the river docks. Her elegant veil gently flutters in the breeze, adding an air of mystery to her presence. The setting is identified as Falcon Tavern Gravesend, lending historical significance to this snapshot from the past. The woman's poised posture suggests that she is waiting for someone or something, perhaps her partner who stands beside her. They appear engrossed in conversation, their body language conveying both familiarity and affection. The composition exudes a sense of serenity with its calm waters reflecting the surrounding architecture. It invites us to contemplate what lies beyond - perhaps an adventure awaiting them across the river. This print by James Jacques Joseph Tissot showcases his mastery in capturing intimate moments within everyday life during this era. Through his lens, we catch glimpses into people's lives and emotions frozen in time. As we admire this exquisite piece from our private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through history and evoke emotions that transcend time itself.
