EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Around 400 Hungarian gypsies, driving many trailers, arrived in Carcassonne, before being driven by the gendarmerie" offers a glimpse into a momentous event that took place on December 18th, 1898. The image depicts an extraordinary caravan of around 400 Hungarian gypsies making their way to Carcassonne in France. The scene is filled with movement and anticipation as the nomadic group drives numerous trailers through the picturesque countryside. The intricate details captured by the French School artist highlight the diversity within this community and their vibrant culture. However, it is evident from the presence of the gendarmerie that this arrival was met with some resistance or control. This juxtaposition adds layers of complexity to our understanding of this historical moment. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable engraving which originally appeared in "Le petit journal". Its inclusion in private collections further emphasizes its significance as a valuable piece of art history. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography beautifully captures every nuance and texture present within this artwork. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when caravans traversed Europe's landscapes carrying stories and traditions from one place to another. This photograph serves as a testament to both cultural diversity and societal attitudes towards marginalized communities during the late nineteenth century. It invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions while appreciating the rich tapestry woven by these traveling souls.
