EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Montlucon, France in the year 1900. The image showcases a traditional custom that was captured and published in Le Petit Journal on April 1st of the same year. In this vibrant illustration, we see a bustling street filled with spectators eagerly watching an entertaining spectacle unfold. The focal point of the scene is a magnificent animal - a donkey - leading the way through the crowd. Its colorful attire and position at the forefront indicate its importance in this customary event. Surrounding it are men, boys, and even one young male spectator who seems particularly engrossed by what he sees. The setting itself exudes charm and character, with typical French architecture lining both sides of the lane. The enchanting atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of people dressed in nineteenth-century clothing, transporting us back to an era long gone. This art media print collector's gem allows us to appreciate not only the visual aesthetics but also offers insight into historical customs and traditions that were celebrated during that period. It serves as a reminder of how culture evolves over time while preserving elements from our past.
