Chateau Effort Exhibited Farthing Galleries Lithographs Peace Penny Pleasures Polka Rouges Walker

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration from the era of peace before the turbulent times of the 20th century's wartime efforts. This coloured lithograph, created by Ch. Vernter, is titled "Une Noce En Velocipedes" and "Le Chateau Rouge," and was exhibited at Walker's Galleries in 1939. The illustration depicts a lively and joyful scene of men and women dancing together, lost in the moment, as the penny-farthing bicycles lean against the wall, a nod to the popular mode of transportation during the 1890s. The polka, a popular dance of the time, sets the rhythm for the night, as couples twirl and laugh, their faces filled with pure delight. The illustration is a beautiful representation of the pleasures and simple joys of the era, a stark contrast to the looming darkness of the approaching war. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the night club, with its red castle-like walls and twinkling lights, creates a sense of nostalgia for a time long past. The intricate details of the illustration, from the elegant dresses and suits to the delicate patterns on the wallpaper and the polished wooden floors, transport us back to the 1930s, a time of innocence and leisure before the world was forever changed. This illustration is a testament to the power of art to capture and preserve moments in time, allowing us to revisit and appreciate the beauty and joy of the past.
