EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white postcard takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a moment in time when music and dance were intertwined in the heart of France. The image showcases a talented hurdy gurdy player, his instrument held firmly against his chest as he skillfully produces enchanting melodies that fill the air. Beside him lies the score sheet of a bourree, a traditional French dance known for its lively rhythm and intricate footwork. This glimpse into the musical composition adds depth to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only the performer but also the artistry behind this regional form of entertainment. The setting is Le Puy-en-Velay, nestled within Haute-Loire in Auvergne. The picturesque backdrop enhances our experience, transporting us to an era where clogs adorned dancers' feet and hats completed their ensemble. Preserved within a private collection, this postcard serves as both an artistic expression and historical artifact. It captures not just one man's passion for music but also reflects upon an entire region's cultural heritage. As we gaze at this tondo-shaped print by a French photographer from the 20th century, we are reminded of how photography has allowed us to immortalize moments like these. Through its lens, we can still hear echoes of melodies long gone and witness dances that have since evolved or faded away. Let this image transport you back in time - immerse yourself in its charm and let your imagination wander through Le Velay illustre 279
