EDITORS COMMENTS
Departure to the Country captures a nostalgic scene from early 20th century France, as illustrated in the Imagier de l'enfance. This enchanting engraving by Ferdinand Raffin takes us back to a time when children's education and imagination were nurtured through beautifully crafted visual aids. In this particular print, we witness a family preparing for their journey into the countryside. The mother stands at the center of attention, overseeing the packing of suitcases and ensuring that everything is in order. The children eagerly await their adventure, clutching onto their cherished belongings. The street scene outside reveals a bustling cityscape with horse-drawn carriages known as fiacres passing by. It is evident that this departure signifies an escape from urban life towards nature's tranquility. The image exudes warmth and tenderness, emphasizing familial bonds and shared experiences. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when families would embark on holiday trips together, creating lasting memories. Raffin's intricate engravings bring depth and character to each element within the composition – from the carefully detailed clothing worn by each figure to the subtle expressions on their faces. Through his artistry, he invites viewers to step into this moment frozen in time and imagine themselves partaking in this idyllic departure. This print not only showcases Raffin's talent but also highlights how educational materials can inspire young minds while preserving cultural heritage.
