About the Item

French Coastal Life – Fisherwomen of Boulogne, Hand-Coloured Print 1835 Detailed Description: This captivating hand-coloured print from 1835 illustrates a lively and charming scene of coastal life in Boulogne, France. The image shows a group of fisherwomen engaged in conversation near the seashore, accompanied by baskets of their catch and a strikingly large fish. This depiction is part of the celebrated volume "Illustrations of the Manners and Costumes of France, Switzerland and Italy" by R. Bridgens, published by J. Dowding in London. Bridgens’ work is admired for its vivid portrayal of 19th-century life, with an emphasis on the social customs, costumes, and everyday occupations of these vibrant communities. The central group of women are depicted in regional dress, including boldly patterned headscarves, aprons, and skirts in rich hand-coloured hues. Their attire reveals the working lives of these fisherwomen, whose hard labour at the seafront was a vital part of coastal economies. One figure, her back turned, carries a large basket over her shoulder, suggesting the weight of her daily toil. Another woman bends to lift a fish basket, her expression lively and engaged in conversation. In the background, the presence of a sailboat underscores the maritime setting and the intimate connection between the sea and the daily rhythms of the town. The attention to detail and the delicate hand-colouring typical of Bridgens’ illustrations lend this print both historical authenticity and a painterly charm. The scene offers a delightful window into the past, capturing the social life and commerce of Boulogne’s coastal communities. As a whole, this print exemplifies the fascination of early 19th-century artists with regional costume and the human stories that underpinned these vibrant scenes. Condition Summary: Good condition overall with slight age-related toning and a few faint spots. The hand-colouring remains bright and engaging, enhancing the print’s historical value. Framing Tips: A simple light oak or natural wood frame, paired with an ivory or cream mount, will complement the earthy tones and bright accents of the hand-coloured details.
