EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the vibrant scene of teams in boats jousting on the iconic River Seine in Paris, back in 1906. The artist, Pierre-Gabriel Berthault, beautifully portrays the excitement and energy of this unique event. As spectators gather along the banks near Pont Neuf, they are seen dancing and singing to celebrate the Festival of the Federation Generale that took place in July 1790. The image transports us back to a time when leisure activities were intertwined with transportation means. Boats served not only as a mode of transport but also as a source of entertainment for both participants and onlookers alike. This spectacle showcases the spirit of rivalry and competition among different teams while providing an enjoyable show for the city's population. The black and white lithograph adds a touch of nostalgia to this early 20th-century artwork, evoking memories from another era. It offers us a glimpse into Parisian life during the XVIII century, where recess from school or work meant engaging in games and pastimes such as these boat jousting tournaments. This print serves as a testament to how historical events can be immortalized through art, allowing future generations to appreciate moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply captivated by Parisian history, this lithograph is sure to transport you back in time and ignite your imagination about life on the River Seine over a century ago.
