EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a French carnival procession in the early 20th century. Titled "The fatted ox at La Villette" this colourful lithograph by Oswaldo Tofani beautifully depicts a moment of celebration and revelry. The image showcases a grand float adorned with intricate details, showcasing the rich culture and heritage of France. As the float makes its way through the streets of La Villette, women dressed in exquisite costumes can be seen dancing alongside it. Their joyful expressions mirror the excitement that fills the air, while young girls eagerly join in on the festivities. Atop the float stands an impressive fatted ox, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. This scene not only highlights French tradition but also represents a significant event for Le Petit Journal, as it was featured as an illustration on March 11th, 1900. The attention to detail in this lithograph is truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each figure and adds depth to their surroundings. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the spirit of French carnival celebrations. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played an essential role in capturing cultural moments throughout history.
