EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos in the late 19th century, transports us to the serene countryside of Haute Marne. The image showcases a group of young women dressed in traditional costumes, standing gracefully on a grand staircase at the Abbey of Septfontaines. The girls' shy smiles and demure poses hint at their innocence and modesty, reflecting the cultural values of rural France during that era. Their attire speaks volumes about their connection to nature and their deep roots in the countryside. Ducos's masterful composition beautifully frames this portrait, highlighting both the architectural beauty of the abbey's staircase and the natural gracefulness of these young women. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each figure, emphasizing their individuality while also capturing a sense of unity within this close-knit community. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back in time to an age where simplicity reigned supreme. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and offers us a glimpse into a world that has long since passed. Through his lens, Ducos immortalizes not only these young women but also an entire way of life – one defined by tradition, tranquility, and timeless beauty.
