EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the early 20th century, we witness a scene that is both amusing and concerning. A seven-year-old girl, full of mischief and innocence, has managed to tie her little sister to the tail of a cow. The image comes from the pages of "Le Petit Journal" dated July 25,1909. The artist's skillful hand brings this comical yet alarming incident to life. We see the young girl with mischievous eyes and a playful smile as she orchestrates this daring act. Her little sister appears bewildered but unharmed, clinging onto the cow's tail for dear life. This artwork raises questions about childhood curiosity and recklessness. It reminds us of how children can sometimes engage in dangerous antics without fully understanding the consequences. The French press at that time captured such incidents with humor and fascination. The engraving also highlights our complex relationship with animals. While cows are typically gentle creatures associated with rural landscapes, here they become unwitting participants in an absurd scenario orchestrated by youthful imagination. Stefano Bianchetti's meticulous attention to detail adds depth to this historical piece. His work serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments frozen in time, allowing us to reflect on past eras and societal attitudes towards childhood adventures. Overall, this print evokes mixed emotions - laughter at the sheer audacity of these young girls' actions combined with concern for their safety - making it an intriguing addition to any collection or exhibition focused on early 20th-century art or social commentary on youth culture.
