EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Mushroom Hunters at the Rocher Bernard" we are transported back to the 19th century. The image captures a serene moment in nature, where a group of mushroom hunters have gathered at the iconic Rocher Bernard in Fontainebleau Forest. The forest is shrouded in an air of mystery, with towering trees creating a canopy above. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. The moss-covered rocks add texture and depth to the scene, while wildflowers peek out from between fallen leaves. The mushroom hunters themselves are engrossed in their task, carefully scouring every nook and cranny for elusive fungi treasures. Their figures blend harmoniously with nature's palette – their hats and baskets mirroring earthy tones. This wood engraving by Auguste Louis Lepère beautifully captures both the tranquility of nature and the timeless pursuit of foraging. Published in Revue Illustree magazine during 1890s France, it showcases Lepère's mastery of capturing intricate details through his precise lines. Now preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection as part of a bound volume, this print serves as a visual testament to our enduring connection with nature throughout history. It invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also reminds us that even amidst our modern lives, there is solace and joy to be found when we immerse ourselves in natural wonders like
