EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the quaint village of Metzeral in 1884. In this snapshot, we witness a scene that seems frozen in time - a group of women dressed in traditional vallee costumes gather around the village fountain, engaged in what appears to be a lively conversation. The image is an engraving by E. Ronjat, commissioned to illustrate Charles Grad's story "Atravers l'Alsace et la Lorraine" published in Le Tour du monde. The women stand near a laundry area, suggesting that they have taken a break from their daily chores to socialize and exchange news. Their attire showcases the rich cultural heritage of the region, with intricate patterns and details adorning their dresses. It is evident that these women take great pride in preserving their traditions. The composition exudes simplicity and authenticity, capturing not only the physical beauty of Metzeral but also its vibrant community spirit. The attention to detail showcased by Ronjat's engraving brings each character to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves as part of this close-knit gathering. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen forever on paper, we are reminded of the power of art and photography to transport us through time and space. This print serves as both an homage to Metzeral's past and an invitation for us all to appreciate our own cultural roots while embracing modernity.
