EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing hand-colored copperplate engraving, an English gentleman stands before a religious tribunal in the heart of Avignon, France. The solemn atmosphere of the trial is interrupted by the gentleman's unexpected action - he pulls out a page from a large folio, revealing an illustration of St. Clara of Falkenstein. The old hag and chaste Clara, both in traditional religious attire, stare at him in astonishment. The gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the early 19th century, clutches the open page with one hand, while holding a candlestick in the other. A bell and a rope with a tassel dangle from the candlestick, adding an air of ceremony to the scene. The woman on the page, St. Clara, is depicted sleeping peacefully on a sofa, her bosom exposed, while a map and a fireplace are visible in the background. This image is taken from Thomas Rowlandson's Journal of Sentimental Travels in the Southern Provinces of France, first published in London in 1821. The engraving is a caricature of Moritz August von Thummel's account of his journey through the provinces of France in the late 18th century. The print is a testament to the popularity of travel literature and caricature during the Romantic era, as well as the fascination with religious and cultural differences. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of the robes to the texture of the candlestick, bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the bustling streets of Marseilles and the hallowed halls of Avignon's religious tribunals. This print is a unique glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of travel, tourism, and the human curiosity that drives us to explore new places and cultures.
