EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque countryside of Auvergne, France with this charming print titled "La Bourree d'Auvergne." Capturing a moment frozen in time around 1910, two couples of villagers are seen joyfully dancing in front of their rustic house. The rhythmic sound of an old wheel serves as their music, setting the scene for a traditional dance that has been passed down through generations.
The women are elegant and feminine in their attire, while the men exude masculinity and strength as they twirl their partners around. Their wooden clogs add a touch of authenticity to the scene, highlighting the simplicity and beauty of rural life in early 20th century Europe.
This postcard is not just a snapshot from history; it is a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Auvergne. The folk dance depicted here is more than just movement - it is a celebration of tradition and community spirit. The vielle, or musical instrument being played by unseen hands, adds another layer to this image.
As you gaze upon this photograph by Patrice Cartier, let yourself be transported to a simpler time when music filled the air and dance brought people together in harmony.
