EDITORS COMMENTS
In front of these low windows, only lit in the deserted streets, a small shadow passes and fearlessly returns. . . This print captures a moment frozen in time - a woman looking through the glass of a Parisian cafe. The image is taken from Alphonse Daudet's autobiographical collection, 'Trento ans de Paris', beautifully illustrated by Montegut and featured in 'Le Monde illustrious' in 1886. The engraving transports us to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris, where curiosity and anxiety intertwine. The woman's gaze reflects both intrigue and apprehension as she peers into the world beyond her reach. It is as if she longs to be part of the vibrant scene outside while also harboring fears that hold her back. The composition evokes a sense of isolation amidst crowded surroundings - an emotion familiar to many who have experienced city life. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this poignant portrayal, emphasizing the contrast between illumination within the cafe and darkness outside. This print serves as a reminder that even in moments of solitude, there is beauty to be found. It invites viewers to reflect on their own desires for connection and exploration while acknowledging the inherent anxieties that can accompany such pursuits.
