EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of "La Fontaine des Innocents" in Paris, France. The image showcases a group of children joyfully feeding birds with bread next to the magnificent fountain. Drawn by Thomas Crane in 1882, this illustration beautifully depicts the innocence and wonderment of childhood. Thomas Crane, known as the Art Director for Marcus Ward & Co. , collaborated with his cousin Ellen Houghton to create this stunning artwork. Their combined talent brings life to every detail, from the flowing water of the fountain to the vibrant colors of the garden. The nineteenth-century setting adds a touch of nostalgia and transports us back to a time when fountains were not only sources of water but also gathering places for communities. This particular fountain holds historical significance as it was built during France's Third Republic. As we admire this illustration, we can't help but be captivated by its charm and beauty. The birds eagerly flock around these young caretakers, creating an atmosphere filled with warmth and harmony between humans and nature. This print is not just a visual delight; it serves as a reminder that even small acts of kindness towards animals can bring immense joy. It encapsulates both French culture and European history while celebrating the timeless bond between children and wildlife. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance for generations to come.
