EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a revolutionary calendar from October 23,1793 (Year II) during the French Revolution. Titled "Brumaire: The sun enters the sign of the scorpion" this artwork by Salvadore Tresca and illustrated by Laffitte offers a glimpse into the unique timekeeping system of that era. The calendar not only displays the month but also provides sunrise and sunset times in major European cities, giving us insight into how people marked their days during this tumultuous period. The intricate engraving beautifully captures the essence of French astrology, with its depiction of a girl holding a zodiac symbol. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this photograph taken by ePhoto Josse transports us back to the 18th century when revolution was in full swing. It serves as a reminder of an important chapter in history - one that shaped modern-day France and influenced revolutions around the world. As we admire this piece, let's reflect on how calendars have evolved over time and appreciate how art can capture both historical events and cultural practices. This image is not just about dates; it represents resilience, change, and humanity's constant quest for progress.
