This engraving, titled "Morlaix from the basin" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The print showcases a picturesque view of Morlaix, a charming town nestled along the coast of Brittany, France. The artist, belonging to the English School, skillfully captures the essence of this historical port town. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the bustling basin filled with an array of ships. These vessels bring life and movement to the scene as they navigate through calm waters. Towering above them is an impressive viaduct that adds architectural grandeur to Morlaix's skyline. As we delve into this artwork's details, it becomes evident that it was created for publication in The Boys Own Annual in 1882. This illustration serves as a visual treat for young readers who were eager to explore history and adventure through their beloved magazine. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about bygone eras when maritime trade played a significant role in shaping coastal towns like Morlaix. It transports us back to a time when boys eagerly devoured stories about daring voyages and heroic sailors. With its rich historical context and meticulous attention to detail, this engraving from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity not only to appreciate fine art but also dive into fascinating tales from our past.
