EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of folklore and tradition on the port of the island of Port Tarascon. The illustration, created by Montegut for Alphonse Daudet's novel "Port-Tarascon" takes us back to 1891 when this engraving was featured in "La vie populaire". In this scene, we see a man observing a defile of the Tarasque, a mythical creature from French folklore. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage of France as it depicts a street scene filled with excitement and anticipation. The man stands at the forefront, his gaze fixed upon the procession passing through the harbor. His presence represents our own curiosity as viewers, inviting us to immerse ourselves in this age-old custom. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti's photography highlight not only the artistic skill behind Montegut's engraving but also bring to life Daudet's vivid descriptions from his literary work. As we examine every line and curve within this print, we can almost hear the sounds of drums beating and people cheering along with their favorite characters from local legends. This piece serves as a reminder that traditions have always played an essential role in shaping societies throughout history. It invites us to appreciate how customs like these continue to connect generations while preserving cultural identity.
