EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photogravure that captures the essence of hope and serenity amidst the ashes. Created by Paul Albert Besnard, this print from "A History of French Etching" takes us on a journey through time, immersing us in the 19th century concept of dream and reverie. In this evocative portrait, we see a solitary figure sitting amidst billowing smoke. The face remains hidden, leaving room for interpretation and inviting viewers to project their own emotions onto the image. The monochrome palette enhances the sense of tranquility while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. Besnard's masterful composition transports us to a peaceful countryside location in France during the 1920s. As night falls, an air of mystery envelops both subject and surroundings. It is as if time stands still within these ashes; a moment frozen forever in history. The print collector Campbell Dodgson expertly curated this piece as part of his exploration into French etching throughout different centuries. Through his selection, he invites us to contemplate not only Besnard's artistic prowess but also our own connection with past eras. This photograph captivates with its timeless beauty and serves as a reminder that even in moments of destruction or chaos, there exists an underlying hope for renewal and peace.
