EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by J. de la Hoese takes us back to 19th century Brussels, showcasing the lively atmosphere of an estaminet, a beloved establishment known for its conviviality and sociability. The print was created to illustrate Camille Lemonnier's story of Belgium, published in the renowned tour du monde magazine edited by Edouard Charton. In this scene, we witness the essence of Belgian daily life as men and women engage in animated conversations over glasses of alcohol. The joy and delight on their faces are palpable, reflecting the warmth and camaraderie that characterized these traditional gathering places. The artist skillfully captures every detail with his precise engravings, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. The estaminet served as a hub for social interaction among Belgians during that era. It was not merely a bistro but rather a cultural institution where people from all walks of life would come together to share stories, ideas, and laughter. This engraving transports us back in time to experience firsthand the unique ambiance that made these establishments so cherished. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece from his private collection, ensuring its legacy endures for generations to come. As we admire this artwork today, let it serve as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Belgium's identity within the Benelux countries.
