EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of chaos and excitement in the bustling courtyard of The Customs House at Boulogne. Painted by Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned English artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases his mastery in watercolor and pen with grey ink over pencil on paper. The scene is set against a backdrop of horse-drawn carriages, as travelers embark on their grand tour through France. A magnificent French building stands tall in the background, while luggage trunks and travelling chests are scattered throughout the courtyard. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and energy as people hurry to complete customs procedures before continuing their journey abroad. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate architectural features of The Customs House to the expressions on people's faces as they navigate through this chaotic environment. This artwork not only serves as a visual documentation of travel during that era but also evokes a sense of adventure and curiosity that was characteristic of those embarking on such journeys. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its vibrant colors and lively composition. It reminds us of an era when exploration was celebrated, transporting us back in time to experience firsthand what it meant to be an English traveler venturing into foreign lands.
