EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Coutume corse, 1865: fiancailles a Loza" takes us back to a traditional Corsican engagement ceremony in the year 1865. The image depicts an intimate moment between two betrothed individuals, surrounded by their families. In this customary exchange of gifts, the groom-to-be presents his future wife with a beautifully decorated wedding basket adorned with ribbons and a distaff symbolizing her role as a wife and mother. In return, she offers him a tobacco pouch known as "blague à tabac" and a pearl purse. The scene is filled with cultural significance and symbolism that reflects the traditions of Corsican society during that era. This engraving was featured in "Histoire de la Corse illustree" by Abbe Jean Ange Galeti, published in "Le Monde Illustre" on May 27th, 1865. The photograph captures not only the exchange of material objects but also conveys the emotions shared between these two individuals who are about to embark on their journey together. It provides us with an intriguing glimpse into the customs and rituals surrounding engagements in Corsica during this period. Preserved within this private collection, this historical print serves as both an artistic representation of Corsican culture and an invaluable window into our past.
