EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history, as the Mayor of Bucharest welcomes royalty with a symbolic gesture. Titled "The Royal Home-Coming at Bucharest, the Mayor offering Bread and Salt at the Railway Station" this artwork by Amedee Forestier transports us back to February 18,1893. Intriguingly detailed, the scene unfolds at the railway station where Princess Marie and Ferdinand I of Romania have just arrived. The mayor stands tall, holding two loaves of white bread in one hand and a bowl of salt in another. This traditional act symbolizes hospitality and goodwill towards esteemed guests. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of Romania's rich cultural heritage and its deep respect for tradition. The royal couple is greeted warmly by their people who eagerly await their return home. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and joy as everyone celebrates this grand occasion. The engraving beautifully captures not only the regal figures but also highlights the importance placed on food in Romanian culture. Bread represents sustenance while salt signifies preservation - both essential elements for life's journey. Through Forestier's skilled craftsmanship, we are transported to that momentous day when Bucharest welcomed its beloved royals back into their embrace. This artwork serves as a testament to unity between royalty and citizens alike – an enduring bond that has shaped Romania's history for generations to come.
