EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of men posing in the picturesque garden of the Abbey of Septfontaine, located in Andelot Blancheville near Chaumont en Haute Marne. Taken around 1886 by renowned photographer Paul Emile Theodore Ducos, this image showcases four distinct personalities framed within the lush surroundings. Two of the men don eye-catching costumes and appear to be canoeists, their adventurous spirits evident even in stillness. They are flanked by two others dressed in elegant attire, complete with top-of-shape hats that exude sophistication and style. The composition creates a striking contrast between the playful and the refined. The subjects' poses convey an air of confidence and self-assuredness, reflecting both their individuality and collective camaraderie. Their expressions hint at a shared sense of belonging to a privileged social class - perhaps members of the French bourgeoisie during this era. Through Ducos's lens, we glimpse into a moment frozen in time, capturing not only fashion trends but also societal norms prevalent during late 19th-century France. This photograph serves as a testament to his skillful ability to capture both elegance and virility through portraiture. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece from his private collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon these gentlemen from another era, we are transported back to a time when fashion was an art form itself - one that reflected societal values while celebrating individual expression.
