Mid-Lent Celebrations in 19th Century Paris - A Vibrant Carnival Extravaganza
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the lively Mid-Lent celebrations that took place on the streets of Paris in 1896. Created by renowned artist F Meaulle and featured in Le Petit Journal, this illustration from March 22nd, 1896, offers a glimpse into the vibrant festivities of that era. The image showcases a colorful procession filled with exquisitely dressed men and women parading through the city streets on horseback. The participants don extravagant costumes and masks, transforming themselves into clowns, entertainers, and even angelic figures with magnificent wings. The atmosphere is electric as people line the lanes and avenues to witness this grand spectacle. As a significant event within Christianity's Catholic tradition, Mid-Lent marks a momentary break from the solemnity of Lenten observances. This celebration known as Laetare Sunday brings together people from all walks of life to revel in merriment before resuming their religious obligations. The enchanting scene depicted here showcases not only the artistic prowess of F Meaulle but also provides us with an invaluable glimpse into French culture during this period. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and entertainment intertwined seamlessly within society at that time. This remarkable print transports us back to late 19th-century France when joyous processions like these were cherished moments for communities to come together and celebrate amidst stunning colors, elaborate costumes, spirited horses
