EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the summer of 1894 at Belle-Ile, featuring the renowned French writer Colette (1873-1954) and her husband Willy (1859-1931). The image, taken by a French photographer from the 19th century, showcases the couple against a backdrop of rocky terrain. Colette, known for her feminist views and elegant style, stands confidently beside her seated husband. She was not only an accomplished author but also a stage actress who made significant contributions to literature during the Belle Époque era. Willy, on the other hand, was a prominent French journalist and writer. The photo highlights their strong bond as they enjoy their holiday together in Brittany. The rocky landscape adds depth to the composition while symbolizing their resilience as individuals within their respective fields. Colette's most famous work "Claudine" series is referenced in this image as it represents one of her notable literary achievements. This print serves as a visual testament to their partnership and influence on early 20th-century literature. Now part of a private collection preserved by eArchives Charmet, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Colette and Willy's lives during that period. It stands as an enduring reminder of two influential figures who left an indelible mark on French culture throughout the twentieth century.
