EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating photograph captures a moment of joy and youthful energy as schoolgirls dance the Farandole at the Lycee Racine in Paris. The image, taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, showcases an open-air folk dance performed by these young students. The girls' colorful dresses swirl around them as they move gracefully to the rhythm of the traditional French dance. Their smiles radiate pure happiness, reflecting their enjoyment of this playful activity. It is evident that this moment holds great significance for them, perhaps representing a break from their academic studies or simply a celebration of childhood. Set against the backdrop of the school courtyard, this snapshot offers a glimpse into education for young girls in France during that era. It serves as an illustration from an article on education published in Le Figaro Illustre in October 1896. As we observe this lively scene, we are reminded of the importance of physical activity and cultural traditions within educational settings. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both elements – showcasing not only children's enthusiasm for dancing but also highlighting how schools can foster well-rounded development through extracurricular activities. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images, this remarkable print invites us to appreciate moments like these where children's innocence and exuberance shine brightly amidst their pursuit of knowledge.
