EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant streets of Paris during the reign of Louis XV. Titled "Life in Paris under Louis XV: an ordinance of the prevots" it captures a significant moment in history when an important proclamation was read and published throughout the city. The scene unfolds with a group of musicians, their faces filled with concentration, as they play their instruments amidst a bustling street scene. The central figure holds a drum, its rhythmic beats echoing through the air, capturing the attention of passersby. This powerful form of communication ensures that every citizen hears and understands the message conveyed by this decree. The image showcases not only daily life but also highlights how music played an integral role in disseminating information during this period. It symbolizes unity and community engagement as people gather around to listen attentively to what is being announced. With incredible attention to detail, French School artist Gerouillac brings this 18th-century engraving to life. Through his skilled craftsmanship, we are transported into a world where sound becomes visual artistry. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historical artwork from "Paris à travers les siècles". Preserved within private collections today, it serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and its unique way of communicating messages through music centuries ago.
