EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Breton lady, Marie-Perrinne de Folgoet-Lesneven, as she lights up her pipe in the heart of Brittany, France, around 1905. The elderly woman, with her wrinkled face and expressive eyes, exudes an air of wisdom and tranquility as she focuses intently on the task at hand. The pipe, a symbol of tradition and relaxation, is a common sight in the region, where tobacco cultivation and pipe-smoking have long been part of the local culture. The scene is set against a backdrop of simple, rustic surroundings, with the woman's traditional Breton attire adding to the authenticity of the image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a bygone era, when simple pleasures and the passage of time were cherished. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Brittany and the enduring appeal of the simple pleasures of life. Marie-Perrinne de Folgoet-Lesneven, with her pipe in hand, embodies the spirit of resilience and the joy of living that continues to inspire generations.
