EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the medieval streets of France, where acrobats and street entertainers mesmerized crowds with their extraordinary skills. Captured between 1882-1884, this image is a part of the renowned collection "La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles" edited by F Roy. In this scene, we witness an acrobat defying gravity as he balances precariously on top of a building while playing his bagpipes. The crowd below is enthralled by his daring act, their eyes fixed on him in awe. A contortionist nearby showcases her flexibility, adding another layer of excitement to the spectacle. The atmosphere is filled with music as a minstrel plays the clarinet, creating an enchanting melody that resonates through the medieval lane. People from all walks of life gather to watch these talented performers showcase their craft amidst the backdrop of historic buildings. Amidst this lively street entertainment, it's hard not to notice the presence of weapons - swords symbolizing warfare and conflict that were prevalent during those times. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even in moments of joy and celebration, reminders of past struggles are never far away. Preserved through engraving techniques by G Jeanne for "The Print Collector" this monochrome masterpiece transports us back centuries ago when street performers brought joy and wonderment to people's lives. It captures not only a specific moment but also reflects upon French culture
