EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shrovetide in Paris as it used to be, Procession of the Boeuf Gras" takes us on a journey back in time to 19th-century France. The engraving, created by Felix Regamey and featured in The Illustrated London News, beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of Shrovetide festivities. The image showcases a lively procession through the streets of Paris, filled with colorful costumes and joyful faces. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent Boeuf Gras (fatted ox), adorned with elaborate decorations and surrounded by revelers. This ancient tradition symbolizes abundance and fertility, marking the beginning of Lent. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where religious festivals played a significant role in French culture. Shrovetide was a time for communities to come together, celebrating before the solemnity of Lent began. The bustling street scenes depicted here evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation among both participants and spectators alike. It serves as a reminder that despite its rich historical context, this celebration continues to shape French identity today. Through this remarkable engraving preserved in private collection, we gain insight into not only past traditions but also European cultural heritage. It stands as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between generations while preserving our collective memory.
