EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "One officer was wearing his breastplate, another his shield. (verse 5), 1880" transports us back to the enchanting world of childhood songs and rounds. The artwork is part of a collection published by Pierre-Jules Hetzel in Paris around 1880. The image depicts two officers, one adorned with a breastplate and the other carrying a shield. Their stoic expressions suggest their readiness for battle or perhaps an imaginary adventure. The intricate details of their armor are beautifully captured by artist Lorentz Froelich, while Charles Emile Matthis and Charles Firmin Gillot skillfully engraved the illustration. Measuring at 27.5 x 18.5 cm, this piece is part of the private collection belonging to Mademoiselle Lili and her cousin Lucien. It showcases not only the artistic talent involved but also highlights the importance of music in children's lives during that era. The engraving evokes nostalgia for simpler times when nursery rhymes and ballads filled our days with joyous melodies. It serves as a reminder of the power that music holds in shaping our memories from childhood. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but be transported back to a time when imagination knew no bounds, where every song had its own story waiting to be discovered.
