EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare artifact from the 18th century - a female chamber pot known as Bourdaloue. The delicate ceramic object, now part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the daily life and customs of women during this era. The Bourdaloue was an essential accessory for women in the 18th century, serving as their portable toilet when nature called. Its elegant design resembles that of a small vase, with intricate details and craftsmanship evident in every curve and contour. This particular piece is attributed to the French School of art from the same period. As we examine this historical item closely, it's fascinating to imagine how it was used by women centuries ago. The chamber pot provided them with convenience and privacy in an age where public restrooms were scarce or nonexistent. It symbolizes both practicality and femininity intertwined. Photographer Giancarlo Costa has beautifully captured this relic from another time, emphasizing its significance within our cultural history. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic value but also gain insights into societal norms surrounding personal hygiene during that era. This print serves as a reminder of how everyday objects can hold great historical importance and tells stories beyond what meets the eye at first glance.
