EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a traditional dance known as La Bourree (La Tournichaire) in the picturesque region of Auvergne, France. The image, dating back to the 1910s, exudes a sense of nostalgia and cultural richness. The dancers are dressed in traditional French attire, with men wearing breeches and vests while women don flowing skirts and aprons. Their expressions are filled with joy and concentration as they move gracefully to the music. In the background, we see a quaint village setting typical of rural France, complete with stone buildings and lush greenery. The scene is alive with energy and movement, capturing a moment frozen in time. Auvergne is known for its vibrant folk traditions, including music and dance that have been passed down through generations. This print beautifully encapsulates the spirit of these age-old customs. Grenville Collins has expertly captured the essence of this cultural phenomenon through his lens, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where community celebrations like La Bourree were an integral part of life in Auvergne. This image serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that continue to thrive in this enchanting region of France.
