EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a man dressed in an outlandish suit made of tiger skins, complete with a helmet and holding a swine in his hand. The photo was taken in the late 19th century at the Abbey of Septfontaines, near Bourmont in Haute Marne, France. The man's attire is both fascinating and puzzling, leaving viewers to wonder about the meaning behind this peculiar ensemble. Was it a costume for a special event or celebration? Or perhaps it was part of some ancient ritual or tradition? The composition of the image is striking, with the man standing against the backdrop of the abbey ruins. The contrast between his wild appearance and the serene surroundings adds an element of mystery to this portrait. Photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this moment from French history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. The Ducos Collection now houses this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to a time long gone but forever preserved through art. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern world, there are still remnants of past customs and practices waiting to be discovered and understood.
