EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 26th February 1911, captures the joyous tradition of making pancakes. The scene is filled with warmth and happiness as a family gathers around an open fire in their cozy kitchen. With a cat playfully observing from the sidelines, everyone eagerly participates in this time-honored custom. The focal point of the image is a woman skillfully tossing a pancake high into the air using a frying pan. Her confident gesture reflects years of practice and expertise in creating these delectable treats. The aroma of freshly cooked pancakes fills the room, enticing all who are present. This artwork celebrates Candlemas or Shrove Tuesday, also known as "les Crepes de la Chandeleur". It beautifully portrays not only the religious significance but also highlights the social aspect of this cherished occasion. Pancakes symbolize indulgence before entering into Lenten fasting traditions. The illustration showcases both traditional elements and timeless family values. It reminds us that gathering together to cook and enjoy food has always been an integral part of our lives. This piece transports us back to simpler times when cooking over an open fire was commonplace. As we admire this print by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a delightful reminder to embrace our own culinary customs while cherishing moments spent with loved ones around delicious meals.
