EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the streets of Rilland in South Beveland during the year 1873. The image depicts a tailor and his apprentice diligently working on the edge of a window, basking in the warm glow of natural light that streams through. They have strategically positioned themselves to not only enjoy this precious illumination but also to witness the lively spectacle of passers-by on the street below. The engraving, based on an original drawing by Adolf Dillens, beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot from Charles de Coster's journey to Zelande (Neerlande). Published in "Le tour du monde" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1874, this piece is part of Hachette edition's prestigious collection. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into their world. We imagine hearing snippets of conversations from those strolling past and catching glimpses of vibrant attire adorning people from all walks of life. The tailor and his apprentice seem engrossed in their craft yet simultaneously connected with the outside world. This remarkable photograph by Leonard de Selva offers us a glimpse into history – an intimate portrayal that reminds us how even mundane tasks like tailoring can be elevated when infused with curiosity and appreciation for one's surroundings. It serves as a testament to humanity’s ability to find joy and inspiration amidst everyday routines.
