EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Title page depicting the procession of the mad cow, mid-Lent in Montmartre" takes us back to a vibrant celebration in Paris, France. The illustration, originally featured in the illustrated supplement of Le Petit Journal on 22nd March 1896, captures the essence of a religious festival during Easter season. The image showcases a lively parade filled with colorful characters and traditional costumes. A female figure with wings gracefully rides on horseback at the forefront, symbolizing an ethereal presence amidst the festivities. Clowns and performers dressed as Pierrot and Pierette add an element of whimsy to this enchanting scene. As music fills the air, participants march along with great enthusiasm through Montmartre's streets. The procession is led by a magnificent depiction of a mad cow—an emblematic figure associated with Mid-Lent celebrations—creating an atmosphere brimming with excitement and tradition. This historical artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also provides insight into cultural practices from over a century ago. It reminds us of how communities came together to celebrate important occasions like Easter and embrace their shared heritage.
