EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Ancient Custom" captures a moment of historical significance. Taken by the French School in the 20th century, it showcases members of the Charitable Brotherhood of St Eloi of Bethune engaging in a mock burial ceremony. The event commemorates their predecessors' noble work during an outbreak of plague in 1188 when they buried the bodies of victims. The image transports us back to medieval times as we witness men dressed in traditional costumes carrying a coffin through a graveyard. Their hats and attire reflect the fashion trends prevalent during that era, adding authenticity to this reenactment. The solemnity and reverence with which these individuals perform their duties are palpable. As they navigate through tombstones, crypts, and sepulchers, one can't help but feel connected to history's legacy. This photograph not only serves as a visual representation of an ancient custom but also offers insight into French culture and European traditions from centuries ago. It reminds us that even amidst modern advancements, our roots remain firmly embedded in our past. Preserved within private collections for years, this color lithograph is now made accessible thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts. Its inclusion in Le Petit Journal on January 24th, 1909 further solidifies its historical importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Fine Art Finder's lens, let us appreciate the dedication and sacrifice displayed by those who came before us while contemplating how customs evolve over time yet continue to shape our present-day practices.
