EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ostend Beach" transports us back to the enchanting shores of Belgium in the late 19th century. Created by Armand Jean Heins, a talented Belgian engraver, this print was commissioned to illustrate Camille Lemonnier's story "La Belgique" in the renowned journal des voyages called Tour du monde. The scene depicted is one of joyous leisure and family fun. The beach comes alive with activity as people engage in various games and playful interactions. Children can be seen running along the sandy shore, their laughter filling the air. A group of individuals engrossed in a game catches our attention - perhaps they are playing a traditional Belgian pastime. Heins' meticulous craftsmanship brings every detail to life, capturing not only the physical aspects but also conveying an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as families gather together under parasols or stroll along the water's edge. Published during an era when travel journals were highly sought after for their vivid descriptions and visual representations, this engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone time when Ostend Beach was cherished for its beauty and served as a gathering place for locals and tourists alike. As we admire this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us across time and space, allowing us to experience moments long gone yet forever
