EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shop of Galanteries, captured in this late 17th-century illustration from Recueil d ornements, takes us back to a time when love was expressed through precious gifts. The term "galanteries" referred to these tokens of affection bestowed upon lovers by their admirers. This enchanting image showcases an elegant interior where male and female figures roam amidst a treasure trove of exquisite items. The couple at the center of the composition epitomizes gallantry and sophistication. They hold hands tenderly, embodying the deep connection between two souls entwined in love. Their attire exudes elegance and style, with fabrics draped gracefully around them. The man dons a bow tie while his partner wears delicate gloves and fashionable shoes. Every corner of this shop is adorned with beautiful objects waiting to be chosen as symbols of devotion. From sumptuous fabrics to intricate gloves, each item holds its own allure for potential suitors seeking to impress their beloveds. This engraving by Jean II Berain (the Younger) allows us a glimpse into an era where romance was celebrated through thoughtful gestures and refined taste. It reminds us that even in centuries past, expressions of love were cherished as much as they are today. Image source: www. bridgemanimages. com
