Annual Procession Valenciennes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the annual procession of the Valenciennes Giants in northern France back in 1910. The towering figures, known as giants, are a significant part of the historical and cultural customs of this region. Each year, these larger-than-life characters come to life during a grand parade through the streets, delighting spectators young and old.
The intricate details on these majestic giants showcase the craftsmanship and artistry that went into their creation. From their elaborate costumes to their expressive faces, every aspect is carefully designed to evoke a sense of wonder and awe.
As they make their way through the town, accompanied by music and dancers, it's easy to see why this tradition has endured for centuries. The Valenciennes Giants symbolize community spirit, heritage preservation, and a deep connection to history.
Looking at this image transports us back in time to an era where such processions were not just entertainment but also served as a way to honor local legends and folklore. It serves as a reminder of how important it is to cherish our traditions and celebrate our shared past.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online is more than just a snapshot - it's a window into another world filled with magic, mystery, and reverence for days gone by.
