EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The benedicite" transports us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment of daily life in Alsace and Lorraine. The engraving, created by Barbant after a painting by Brion, was originally featured in the 1886 edition of "Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton. In this scene, we witness a family gathered around their dining table, engaging in an age-old ritual before enjoying their meal. A young child sits at the head of the table with his parents on either side, while an open Bible book rests before them. With heads bowed and hands clasped together in prayer, they offer thanks for the sustenance that lies before them. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and devotion as it encapsulates the essence of religious faith within everyday life. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on spirituality during this period. Through this engraving, we are transported to another time and place – one where families found solace and strength through prayer amidst their humble surroundings. It is a testament to both the power of religion and the enduring nature of familial bonds. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also provides insight into historical customs and traditions that shaped communities in Alsace-Lorraine during this era.
