EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Q for Quenouille, 1920" takes us back to the early 20th century in Brittany, France. The image is an illustration by Catherine Josephine Marie Fricero, a talented artist who left her mark on the Alphabet des Petits Bretons published by Hachette in Paris. Measuring at 31x24 cm, this delicate piece of art captures a moment of learning and tradition. In the foreground, we see a young girl sitting on a wooden chair with an expression of curiosity on her face. She is dressed in traditional attire, showcasing the cultural heritage of Brittany. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the quenouille - a tool used for spinning wool or flax fibers into thread. It symbolizes both craftsmanship and domesticity as it was commonly used by women during that era. The setting exudes simplicity and authenticity; an old-fashioned clock hangs on the wall behind the girl while she engages in her educational activities. This scene reminds us of an era when education took place within one's home rather than formal institutions. Bridging past and present through this remarkable photograph, we are transported to a time where culture thrived amidst everyday life. As we admire this beautiful print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate how art can preserve history and traditions for generations to come.
