English Family Travelling to France, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this chromolithograph print, we are transported back to the year 1886, capturing a delightful moment of an English family embarking on a journey across the English Channel. The image portrays a scene filled with joy and anticipation as the family sets sail on a steamer for their continental holiday in France. The focus of the picture is on two little girls, arm-in-arm with their older brother, clutching tightly onto their beloved dolls. Their dresses flutter in the strong breeze that sweeps across the deck, while scarves and bonnet ribbons dance almost horizontally in the wind. Folding stools and luggage can be seen scattered around them, along with a leather hatbox. This snapshot from history not only showcases fashion trends of that era but also highlights the excitement and adventure associated with travel during Victorian times. The passengers aboard this passenger steamer exude happiness as they embark on this new experience together. As we gaze upon this charming print by an unknown creator from Heritage Images collection, it reminds us of simpler times when families would come together to explore new lands and create lasting memories. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of wanderlust that has transcended generations throughout history.
