EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Lena (1899). Sardanas dancing with the cobla in a village square,' is a captivating snapshot of a traditional Catalan dance event that took place in the late 19th century. The image, printed and published in Barcelona in 1935, is part of Chapter VI in the works of Carles Bosch i Lawnesia (1831-1897), a renowned Spanish writer and naturalist. The scene portrays a group of men and women, dressed in their finest attire, gathered in an open-air village square. They are engaged in the lively and synchronized dance of the Sardana, a traditional Catalan folk dance that has its roots in the Renaixenca or Renaixensa movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The dancers are accompanied by a cobla, a traditional Catalan musical ensemble consisting of a variety of wind instruments, including the shawm, the tenora, and the tambourine. The image captures the joy and camaraderie of the dancers as they move in perfect harmony, their faces expressive and full of emotion. The background shows the typical 19th-century architecture of Catalonia, with its distinctive facades and flat roofs. The atmosphere is one of celebration and tradition, as the people come together to enjoy the music and the dance, under the clear blue sky. Bosch i Lawnesia's description of the scene in his writings adds depth to the image, providing a vivid account of the sights, sounds, and smells of the festival. His naturalist's eye for detail and his appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia make this engraving a valuable document of a bygone era. The Sardana dance remains an important part of Catalan identity and tradition, and this image serves as a reminder of its history and significance.
