EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Hirtztag, a unique carnival where women are granted complete freedom. The image, an engraving by Frederic Theodore Lix, beautifully illustrates the story "A trevers l'Alsace et la Lorraine" written by Charles Grad, a German deputer in 1885. The scene is set in Sundgau, France during the late 19th century. Women of all ages can be seen joyfully participating in this extraordinary event. Disguised and liberated from societal norms, they revel in their newfound equality and emancipation. The atmosphere is filled with happiness as these women embrace their freedom to indulge in activities typically reserved for men. Alcohol flows freely as laughter fills the air. This celebration challenges traditional morals and allows women to break free from their usual roles within society. It serves as a powerful symbol of female empowerment during a time when gender inequality was prevalent. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly captures this momentous occasion that showcases both the spirit of French culture and the fight for equal rights for women. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where boundaries were pushed aside and barriers were broken down - reminding us of how far we have come on our journey towards gender equality.
