EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, capturing a scene from a toll bridge in France. The artist, H Moulin, beautifully depicts the bustling activity that would have taken place at this historical crossing point. In the foreground of the stained glass window, we see various animals such as boars, cows, horses, and pigs being led by their owners towards the toll gate. Livestock played a significant role in French society during this time period and were often used for transportation or trade. The toll collector stands attentively near the entrance of the bridge, ready to collect payment from those passing through. This occupation was crucial for maintaining these vital infrastructure points and ensuring safe passage for travelers. The vibrant colors of this print bring life to an era long gone. The intricate details on both the animals and humans showcase the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating stained glass windows like these. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry from 1849, we are reminded of how history can be preserved through visual representations. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past generations and allows us to appreciate their way of life while marveling at their ingenuity in constructing structures like toll bridges that still stand today.
