EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century titled "French Children watching speeding car" transports us back in time to a quaint countryside scene in France. The image captures the attention of a group of French children, both boys and girls, as they gather around to witness the spectacle of a speeding car passing by. Standing near a stone church and surrounded by lush hills, these young ones are filled with curiosity and excitement. In this snapshot of history, we see children playing with a wheelbarrow while others eagerly await their turn to catch a glimpse of this modern marvel. The vibrant flowers adorning the landscape add an extra touch of charm to this idyllic setting. The presence of a department store named "Au Bon Marche" hints at the changing times and growing influence of consumerism even in rural areas. This juxtaposition between tradition and progress is further emphasized by the monument towering over the village, symbolizing France's rich architectural heritage. Through this artwork, we can almost hear their laughter and feel their anticipation as they watch cars become an integral part of daily life. It serves as a reminder that no matter how much things change over time, some things remain universal – like the wonderment on children's faces when faced with new experiences. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also offers us glimpses into French culture, transportation history, and childhood innocence all captured within one frame.
