EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving, created in 1835 by J. M. W. Turner and printed in English, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the waterfront of Tours, France. The scene unfolds along the serene Loire River, showcasing the city's enchanting beauty and rich maritime history. In this detailed print, we are transported to an early morning on the riverfront. A majestic bridge gracefully spans across the Loire, connecting bustling streets lined with elegant buildings. Staircases lead down to the water's edge where dock workers diligently go about their daily tasks. A rider on horseback passes by as a donkey-drawn cart makes its way through the cobblestone street. The river itself is alive with activity - row boats glide effortlessly through gentle currents while boatmen expertly maneuver larger vessels for mooring. In one corner of the image, we see a group of women engaged in their work as laundresses near a wall adorned with colorful carousel-like decorations. Turner's masterful use of light and shadow brings this picturesque scene to life; every detail meticulously engraved onto steel plates that now grace our eyes centuries later. This remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection allows us to immerse ourselves in French history and experience firsthand the vibrant atmosphere of Tours' waterfront during this era.
