Mannekin Pis: A Timeless Symbol of Merriment and History (IL PISSE TOUT LE TEMPS) This postcard image showcases the iconic Mannekin Pis statue, a beloved landmark of Brussels, Belgium. The Mannekin Pis, which translates to 'the little pee boy,' is a 17th-century sculpture of a young boy urinating into a fountain basin. The statue, believed to be around 61 cm (24 inches) tall, has been a source of fascination and amusement for centuries. The photograph, taken circa 1911, captures the essence of the Mannekin Pis as a historical and cultural icon. The statue is dressed in a small hat and plumes, reflecting the various costumes it has worn throughout its history. Some onlookers in the image appear moved and amused by the statue, while others look on with mixed feelings. The historical significance of the statue is evident, as it is believed to date back to the 14th or 15th century. The Mannekin Pis has a rich history, with various legends surrounding its origins. One popular legend tells of a young boy who saved the city of Brussels from an invading army by urinating on a fire, putting it out and saving the city. Regardless of its origins, the statue has become a symbol of the city's spirit and resilience. This postcard image, with its timeless charm and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the enduring allure of the Mannekin Pis and the joy it brings to people from all walks of life. Whether we are moved to emulation or look on with mixed feelings, the Mannekin Pis remains a cherished part of European history and culture.
