EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the iconic Cafe Procope, a renowned gathering place for intellectuals and artists during the 18th century. Engraved by Jean Francois Badoureau, this image beautifully captures the essence of an era known as the "Siecle des Lumieres" or Age of Enlightenment. As we delve into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to a group of distinguished figures seated around a table. Among them are George Louis Buffon, Jean Francois Marmontel, Jean d'Alembert Le Rond, Denis Diderot, Paul Henry Tiry (Baron d'Holbach), Alexis Piron, and Henri Louis Cain (known as Lekain). Each one represents a different facet of society - philosopher, scientist, actor, writer - united by their thirst for knowledge and intellectual discourse. The atmosphere within the cafe is palpable; conversations flow freely amidst clinking glasses and swirling smoke. It is here that ideas were exchanged and debates ignited - shaping not only French culture but also influencing Europe's intellectual landscape. Through this engraving-turned-photograph by Kretz from the 19th century after an original artwork held at Musee Carnavalet in Paris today; we catch a glimpse into an era where thinkers like Voltaire challenged societal norms through their writings. The oval-shaped portraits adorning the walls serve as silent witnesses to these profound discussions that took place within these hallowed walls. This photo print
