EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos in the late 19th century, transports us to the serene surroundings of the Abbey of Septfontaines in Bourmont, Haute Marne. The image features a young servant girl gracefully holding a branch adorned with various plants, accompanied by her loyal canine companion and a basket filled with unknown treasures. The servant's attire reflects her role as she wears an apron and a traditional French hat, embodying the essence of domestic labor during that era. Her gentle gaze towards the camera reveals both strength and vulnerability, capturing a moment frozen in time. Surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, this portrait exudes tranquility and harmony between nature and human existence. The Abbey's picturesque garden serves as an idyllic backdrop for this intimate scene. Paul Emile Theodore Ducos skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of his subjects but also their emotional depth. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate the complexities of life within these historic walls. Leonard de Selva's careful preservation of this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate its timeless charm today. As we admire this piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of photography to capture fleeting moments that transcend time itself.
