"Saints Day: A Whimsical Celebration of Heavenly Humour" Step into a world where rain umbrellas are the latest fashion trend and St. Swithin is the patron saint of meteorologists. Picture this: a 19th-century cartoon depicting a Kermesse of the Feast of St. George, with knights jousting on oil-painted panels. But wait, there's more. Meet St. Charlemagne, the mischievous patron saint of school children, as illustrated in Le Petit Journal Illustré. Join him on his adventures through time and space as he guides young minds towards knowledge. In another corner, witness The Marching Watch - an illustration from Hutchinson's magazine that brings to life the lively streets filled with bustling characters during Saint's Day festivities. Travel further south to Malta, where sketches capture scenes of vibrant celebrations in Balkan villages. Peasants dance the "Hora, " their joyous movements echoing through engraved pages like music notes floating in air. Meanwhile, across Europe, Queen Margherita receives flowers and tributes on her Name Day in Monza amidst colorful lithographs that honor her regal presence. Transport yourself back to 1852 when La Soule was all the rage in Basse-Normandie. French School artists captured this energetic game played during Saints Day festivities - a spectacle worth cherishing for generations to come. Fast forward to 1936 and find yourself enchanted by Scandinavian girls wearing candle headdresses on St Lucy's Day - an artistic masterpiece created by Fox that illuminates both hearts and minds alike. Return once again to Malta; this time within its grog-shops where locals gather for merriment and revelry under flickering lantern lights - immortalized forever within engravings capturing life at its most authentic moments. And finally, immerse yourself in Verona's Corso Sant Anastasia depicted on an oil panel canvas.
