EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving titled "French Belief" we are transported to a time when the mysteries of childbirth were shrouded in folklore and imagination. The image showcases a little girl, her innocent eyes filled with wonder and curiosity, as she embarks on an enchanting journey through her family's vegetable garden. Believing that babies are born in cabbage or roses, the young girl takes it upon herself to investigate this whimsical notion. With delicate precision, she carefully cuts the sprouts of various vegetables, perhaps hoping to uncover the secret behind these magical births. The artist beautifully captures not only the child's innocence but also highlights how beliefs and customs can shape our understanding of life's most profound moments. This enchanting scene serves as a reminder of how folklore intertwines with reality, creating a tapestry of cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this exquisite print from French School's collection, we are transported back in time to an era where scientific knowledge was limited, and imagination played a vital role in shaping our perception of nature. It is a testament to human creativity and our innate desire to make sense of the world around us. This mesmerizing artwork invites us to reflect on how far we have come in understanding birth while cherishing the beauty found within ancient beliefs that once captivated young minds like this little girl's.
