EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1880, titled "The officers and the guard sing back to the Duke" we are transported to a moment of joyous camaraderie. The scene depicts a group of uniformed officers and guards returning the Duke's serenade with their own spirited song. As they raise their voices in unison, their harmonious melodies fill the air. This enchanting artwork is part of Pierre-Jules Hetzel's collection, "Childhood songs and rounds" published in Paris during the late 19th century. Lorentz Froelich masterfully illustrates this heartwarming scene, while Charles Emile Matthis and Charles Firmin Gillot skillfully bring his work to life through engravings. Measuring at 27.5 x 18.5 cm, this print captures not only the musicality but also the nostalgia associated with childhood songs and nursery rhymes. It evokes memories of simpler times when these tunes were an integral part of children's stories. The black-and-white composition adds a touch of timeless elegance to this piece, emphasizing its traditional nature. Through this image, we glimpse into French customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving by Bridgeman Images' Duvallon photography studio, we cannot help but be drawn into its enchanting world where music transcends time and brings people together in harmony.
