EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""Ils Allaient Dodelinant de la Teste" ("They went along wagging their Heads") by Rabelais" takes us on a journey through the streets of old France. This 19th-century engraving, created by an anonymous French artist, captures a scene filled with intrigue and curiosity. In this bustling street scene, we see a group of people walking together, their heads bobbing and swaying in unison. The title itself, ""Ils Allaient Dodelinant de la Teste"" or "They went along wagging their Heads" hints at the peculiar nature of this procession. As we delve deeper into the image, we are reminded of the literary genius behind it - François Rabelais. Known for his satirical works such as "Gargantua" and "Pantagruel". Rabelais often used humor to critique society's follies. This engraving serves as an illustration for The Graphic magazine from February 10th, 1877. It perfectly encapsulates Rabelais' wit and whimsy while offering a glimpse into the vibrant street life of that era. With its intricate details and lively composition, this artwork transports us back in time to witness these enigmatic figures strolling through history. Through their synchronized movements and mysterious expressions, they invite us to ponder what secrets lie behind their collective action. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts
