EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the exhilarating world of horse racing at Boulogne-sur-Mer, captured in this vibrant and captivating vintage poster from 1896. The French School's colour lithograph transports us to the Belle Époque era, where horse racing was not just a sport but a grand spectacle that brought together people from all walks of life. The poster, now part of a private collection, showcases the excitement and allure of this coastal resort town. With its picturesque coastline as a backdrop, jockeys atop their racehorses thunder down the course while spectators cheer them on with anticipation. The atmosphere is filled with fun and amusement as betting and gambling add an element of thrill to the event. This advertisement for horse racing serves as more than just promotion; it captures a moment in history when leisure activities like these were seen as pastimes for both high society and common folk alike. It offers us a glimpse into the vibrant culture and maritime spirit that defined early 20th-century France. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us back in time. It reminds us that even though times may change, our fascination with sports, entertainment, and shared experiences remains timeless.
