EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting moment of "Electing the Queen of the Bohemians" in Sainte-Maries-de-la-Mer. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 1st June 1913, showcases a vibrant and lively scene that transports us to the heart of Provence's Camargue region in South France. In this colorful lithograph by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, we witness a gathering of Gypsies or Gitans as they come together to celebrate their unique culture and traditions. The image depicts a group of men, women, and children gathered outside a picturesque church with caravans forming a caravan circle nearby. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as everyone eagerly participates in electing their queen. Dressed in traditional bohemian attire, adorned with vivid colors and intricate patterns, these nomadic individuals showcase their rich heritage proudly. The image beautifully captures not only the physical beauty but also the spirit of unity among these Romany people. It serves as a testament to their resilience and unwavering sense of community despite facing societal challenges throughout history. As we delve into this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance of celebrating diversity and embracing cultural differences. This photograph invites us to appreciate the richness that lies within each individual's story while highlighting how art can transcend boundaries by immortalizing moments like these for generations to come.
