EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event from history - the Mid-Lent carnival float procession in 1903. The image, originally featured in Le Petit Journal on March 29th, takes us back to a time when beauty contests were an important part of cultural festivities. The scene is filled with color and life as people line the streets to witness this grand spectacle. The queen herself stands tall on her majestic float, adorned in an exquisite dress and costume fit for royalty. As she waves gracefully to the crowd, her presence commands attention and admiration. Religious symbols are prominently displayed throughout the procession, reminding us that this celebration holds deep significance within Christianity. Flags flutter proudly in the breeze, symbolizing unity and pride for their faith. Men walk alongside the float, adding to its regal aura. Spectators marvel at this extraordinary sight while rambling down typical avenues transformed into vibrant lanes for this special occasion. This engraving-turned-print transports us back in time, allowing us to experience firsthand a cherished tradition that has stood the test of time. It serves as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us of how celebrations can bring communities together in joyous harmony.
