EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, titled 'The Carnival in Rome, 1872,' captures the lively spirit of one of Europe's most historic and vibrant festivals. The image showcases a group of revellers from Rome's annual carnival, dressed in elaborate and fantastical costumes, dancing and celebrating around a somewhat alarmed priest. The priest, dressed in his religious attire, finds himself surrounded by an assortment of intriguing characters, including a donkey, a cockerel, a dog, and a clown. The carnival, a centuries-old tradition that pre-dates the Roman Empire, is renowned for its exuberant and uninhibited atmosphere. During this time, social norms and hierarchies are turned upside down, allowing people to let go of their daily concerns and indulge in merriment and revelry. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in December of 1872, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural import of Rome's carnival celebrations. The detailed engraving, with its intricate lines and vibrant colors, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the joy and excitement of this unique and cherished tradition. The image, numbered 21, dec, and showing, is a testament to the enduring allure of the carnival and the human spirit's innate desire to celebrate and connect with one another. The engraving, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is an essential addition to any collection of European cultural history or the history of carnivals around the world.
