EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Small Godfathers, 1885" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. Created by artist Moreau and featured in Paul Lacroix's book "18th Century Institutions, Usages And Costumes" this image offers a glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time. In the foreground, we see two young children dressed in exquisite period attire, standing proudly beside a grand pillar. Their delicate hands are intertwined as they fulfill their role as godfathers. The intricate details of their clothing showcase the elegance and refinement that characterized French fashion during this era. Behind them stands an ornate carriage wheel, symbolizing both transportation and progress. The night sky adds an air of mystery to the scene while highlighting the importance of family bonds even under cover of darkness. The monochrome engraving technique used by Moreau enhances every line and texture with precision. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions associated with childhood innocence and familial connections. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported to another time - a time when tradition held great significance within French society. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about facts; it is about capturing moments like these that continue to resonate with us today.
