EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a popular tradition in early 20th century Paris, showcasing young celibataries known as catherinettes celebrating Saint Catherine (Sainte-Catherine) on November 25. The image, sourced from the renowned "Le petit journal illustrious" cover of November 21,1920, offers a glimpse into the vibrant streets of Paris during this festive occasion. The photograph portrays a group of girls dressed in traditional attire, exuding an air of youthful enthusiasm and joy. They are seen parading through the streets with colorful banners and decorations, embodying the spirit of this age-old custom. The celebration is steeped in French culture and revolves around honoring unmarried women who have reached the age of twenty-five without tying the knot. The engraving by Stefano Bianchetti beautifully captures every detail with precision and artistry. His skillful rendering brings to life not only the scene but also the emotions felt by these young women as they revel in their unique status as catherinettes. This historical print serves as a testament to the enduring traditions that shape our societies. It reminds us of how customs evolve over time while still retaining their essence. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we can appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its cultural significance—a window into a bygone era where celebrations like these brought communities together to honor cherished traditions.
