EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 12th April 1914, transports us back in time to the joyous celebration of Easter. This vibrant colour lithograph depicts a scene filled with enchantment and musical delight. At the center of attention stands a male bell ringer, his hands gracefully playing the chimes that hang from an intricately carved timber frame. The belfry behind him adds to the grandeur of this moment. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every detail - from the delicate pastel hues adorning the figure's attire to the rich tones highlighting each individual bell. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the melodious sound resonating through our ears. This image captures not only a musician at work but also a cherished tradition associated with Easter - Paques fete des cloches or "Easter, the bell ringer". It reminds us of how music has always played an integral role in cultural celebrations throughout history. As we delve into this historical artwork, it is important to appreciate its significance as part of Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre magazine. This publication served as a window into society during its time and provided readers with visual delights such as this stunning illustration. Now preserved within a private collection, this piece allows us to glimpse into an era long gone by and immerse ourselves in its beauty and charm.
