EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stilts" by Louis Marin Bonnet (1752-1802), offers a glimpse into the past of 18th century France. The image depicts a group of children, both boys and girls, balancing precariously on stilts in a rural setting. The boys wear short trousers and shirts, while the girls are dressed in long skirts and blouses. The children's expressions range from focused determination to playful delight, as they navigate the uneven terrain with the aid of their long stilts. Louis Marin Bonnet, a French artist, expertly captures the essence of childhood in this charming work. The print is part of a larger series of aquatints by Bonnet, which document various aspects of everyday life in France during the late 18th century. The use of color and tone adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring appeal of childhood innocence. It can be found in the prestigious collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The image invites us to imagine the lives of these children, their games, and their world, and to reflect on the ways in which childhood experiences have shaped our own lives."
