EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures the lively atmosphere of a halfway point during Lent in 19th-century France. Created by Henri Meyer and published in Le Petit Journal on March 18,1893, this print showcases a procession of students celebrating La Mi-Carême, or Halfway through Lent. The scene is filled with an array of colorful costumes and banners as the students ride through the streets on donkeys. The festive spirit is palpable as they proudly display their fancy dress attire while parading through town. The image exudes a sense of joy and merriment that was characteristic of these traditional celebrations. Lent, a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter, was interrupted halfway through by La Mi-Carême festivities. This event provided an opportunity for people to indulge in food, drink, and revelry before returning to their Lenten observances. Meyer's skillful depiction transports us back in time to witness this unique cultural tradition within French society. It serves as a reminder that even during times of religious solemnity, there are moments when communities come together to celebrate life's joys. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into the rich history and customs associated with Lent in France - an enduring testament to the country's vibrant cultural heritage.
