EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Lent in the Middle Ages, circa 1910 in France. The image depicts a group of people gathered on the street, with one woman at the center breaking her fast by eating salt herring during this period of religious observance.
The crowd surrounding her appears to be outraged by her actions, as she is chased and pursued for daring to defy the fasting traditions of the time. The tension and drama in this moment are palpable, as onlookers react with shock and disapproval.
This snapshot offers a glimpse into a historical custom that was deeply ingrained in medieval society, highlighting the strict adherence to religious practices and dietary restrictions during Lent. The vivid colors and details bring this scene to life, transporting viewers back in time to witness this dramatic event unfold before their eyes.
As we reflect on this fascinating piece of history captured through photography, we are reminded of the cultural significance placed on food and fasting during this era.
