The Retamer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the early 20th century, part of the "Imagier de l'enfance" series. Created by Ferdinand Raffin, this artwork measures 14.5 x 18.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. This particular piece is featured in the sixth booklet of the series titled "Les metiers" which translates to "The Trades". The album was designed for use in nursery schools and primary education settings, focusing on observation and language development. "The Retamer" showcases a scene from daily life in France during that time period. It depicts a woman, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully taming two horses hitched to her caravan filled with various goods. This street trade was an essential part of French culture at the turn of the century. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable – from the carefully crafted metal pots and utensils inside the caravan to the vibrant colors used throughout. The artist's talent shines through as he captures not only the essence of this profession but also evokes nostalgia for a bygone era. With its historical significance and artistic merit, "The Retamer" serves as a window into early 20th-century Europe, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
