EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un pardon en Bretagne" transports us to the vibrant and culturally rich region of Brittany in France during the 19th century. The image, a colour lithograph by an anonymous French School artist, captures the essence of a religious event known as "pardon" which was beautifully illustrated for Charles Delon's book Les Peuples de La Terre. The scene is filled with people from different walks of life, showcasing their distinctive costumes and customs. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the ethnography of this world-renowned destination. The individuals depicted are engaged in various activities: some are playing traditional musical instruments while others are seen wearing clogs - iconic footwear associated with Brittany. Religion plays a central role in this festive gathering, highlighting its importance within the local community. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that it not only represents religious devotion but also celebrates cultural diversity and unity among different peoples. Through this artwork, we can observe how stereotypes about dress and behavior were prevalent during that time period. However, it is essential to view these representations through an ethnological lens rather than perpetuating any preconceived notions or biases. Overall, this print offers us a window into the past – a snapshot of Brittany's unique blend of religion, costume, music, and customs – all contributing to its distinct identity within France and Europe as a whole.
