This is a very special work, apart from the fact that the work is beautiful, it is a unique image of everyday France during the Belle époque. Added is a photo card of exactly the same place where even the washers and cart can be seen. This map was not originally included with the work, but curiously enough was found by the contributor in an antique shop in Paris.
Jean-Baptiste Jules Trayer was born in Paris in 1824 and died in 1909. Trayer was taught by his father, who was a landscape painter, and by Justin Lequien at the Académie Suisse in Paris. He specialized as a "genre" painter, particularly depicting scenes in Brittany. Trayer was a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon from 1847 and received third class medals at the Paris Salons of 1853 and 1855.
