EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the "Fete de Mail" in 16th century Paris. Displayed at the Musee Carnavalet, this anonymous masterpiece offers a glimpse into the vibrant and lively celebrations of that time. The image transports us to a bustling street view, where an entire population gathers under towering trees. The atmosphere is filled with joy and merriment as people engage in various activities, from dancing to playing games. This snapshot of society reveals both the playful nature and strong sense of community prevalent during those times. Intriguingly, amidst all the revelry, we witness a round childish folk dance taking place. The participants seem fully engrossed in their playfulness while showcasing their skills as skilled players. It's fascinating how such simple games could bring so much delight to people back then. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this historical scene. From the intricate costumes to the expressions on each individual's face, his lens immortalizes this moment for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of how leisure activities have evolved over centuries but still hold immense importance in our lives today. This print serves as a testament to human connection and reminds us that no matter what era we live in, coming together for celebration will always be an integral part of our shared experience.
