    Seaside Souvenirs
    From 1870, the opening of railway lines connecting Paris and certain regions to coastal towns developed seaside tourism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in seaside towns, particularly Le Tréport. The growth of this tourism, driven by the seaside resort's popularity, attracted a middle-class clientele, and souvenir shops took advantage of this opportunity to offer a wide range of objects, including painted mother-of-pearl, in these seaside towns.
    Seaside souvenirs were often handcrafted and decorative objects. They reflected the aesthetics and natural materials associated with coastal regions.
