EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of French culture and meteorological wisdom from the early 20th century. The image features a scene on the streets of France, where a diverse group of people, including children, women, and men, are braving the stormy weather with umbrellas in hand. The focal point of the photograph is a charming illustration of a Meteorological proverb dating back to around 1900. The proverb reads "Rain after Saint Medard (April shower)," highlighting the belief that rainy weather often follows Saint Medard's feast day in June. This traditional saying reflects the close connection between folklore and meteorology in French society during this time period. The vibrant colors and detailed imagery in this print bring to life the atmosphere of a rainy day in France, with raindrops falling and umbrellas providing shelter from the downpour. It serves as a reminder of how weather patterns have long been observed and interpreted by different cultures throughout history. Overall, this print is not just an artistic representation but also a historical document that sheds light on the intersection of science, tradition, and everyday life in turn-of-the-century Europe.
