EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 16th century France, capturing a heartfelt moment of faith and gratitude. The artist, A Gusmand, skillfully depicts a family saying grace before their meal in an elegant dining room. The scene is filled with devoutness as the family members stand around the table, heads bowed in prayer. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate costumes worn by each individual to the carefully engraved furniture that adorns the room. Women are dressed in beautiful gowns while men wear traditional attire of the era. A servant stands nearby, ready to serve their dinner. The atmosphere exudes warmth and unity as children join their parents in this religious ritual. It's evident that this family holds deep reverence for their Christian beliefs and cherishes these moments together. Through this monochrome engraving, we catch a glimpse into both the religious practices and daily life of 16th century France. This piece not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as a historical document, allowing us to appreciate how faith played an integral role within French society during that time period. As we gaze upon this print from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles, Volume II, we can't help but feel moved by the devotion displayed by this family centuries ago. Their act of saying grace reminds us of the enduring power of faith and gratitude across generations.
