EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the whimsical and heartwarming tradition of Nenette and Rintintin, the beloved yarn-doll good luck charms of the First World War era in Paris and beyond. Dating back to the 1910s, these tiny figurines brought happiness, provided pleasure, and served as a portent of good fortune to countless individuals during a time of great uncertainty and hardship. Nenette, with her cheerful smile and rosy cheeks, and Rintintin, her faithful companion, were often hung in homes, workplaces, and even in soldiers' uniforms as a source of comfort and good luck. The French term "bonheur," meaning happiness or good fortune, was often associated with these delightful figures. The simplicity of their design, with their intricately knitted details and expressive faces, adds to their enduring appeal. These figurines were not mass-produced commercial items, but rather, they were made with love and care by devoted hands. The tradition of creating and collecting Nenette and Rintintin dolls became a cherished pastime for many, offering a small but meaningful way to bring joy and positivity into people's lives amidst the challenges of the First World War. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power of tradition, the importance of hope, and the enduring human spirit, even in the most trying of times.
