EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lena (1899). Sardanas dancing with the cobla in a village square," transports us back in time to the 19th century in Catalonia, Spain. The image is an excerpt from Chapter VI of the book "Contemporary Life in Catalonia" written and illustrated by Carles Bosch de la Trinxeria (1831-1897). Bosch, a renowned Spanish writer and naturalist, meticulously documented the traditions and customs of Catalan life, capturing the essence of the region through his words and art. In this particular illustration, we see a lively scene of villagers engaged in the traditional Catalan dance known as the Sardana. The dance is characterized by its intricate footwork and synchronized movements, which are beautifully complemented by the harmonious music played by the cobla, a traditional Catalan band. The setting for this dance is the quaint village square, surrounded by a charming building with vibrant colors and intricate details, reflecting the rich architectural heritage of Catalonia. The villagers, dressed in traditional attire, are fully immersed in the joyous celebration, their faces expressing a sense of unity and happiness. This engraving, printed and published in Barcelona in 1935, is a testament to the enduring cultural traditions of Catalonia and the beauty of its people and landscapes. The use of color adds a vibrant and dynamic quality to the image, bringing the scene to life and allowing us to experience a moment in history that continues to resonate with Catalan identity and pride.
