EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a confetti battle on the boulevards of Paris during Mardi Gras. The scene is set in the late 19th century, during the Belle Époque period, known for its opulence and celebration. Women dressed in elaborate costumes can be seen joyfully throwing confetti into the air, creating a colorful spectacle that fills the streets. Mardi Gras, also known as Carnival or Fat Tuesday, marks the last day of indulgence before Lent begins. It is a time of revelry and festivity, where people come together to celebrate with parades, parties, and street battles like this one. The children in the image are caught up in the excitement too, adding to the sense of fun and playfulness. The engraving was originally published as an illustration in Le Petit Parisien newspaper on February 23rd, 1896. It provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era when traditions were cherished and celebrations were grand affairs. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty captured within this momentous event. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but feel transported back in time to join in on this exuberant confetti battle on the boulevards of Paris during Mardi Gras.
