EDITORS COMMENTS
April Fools' Day Prank with Poissons d'Avril, 1915: A Young Girl's Basket Full of Surprise Fish April Fools' Day, a time for playful mischief and harmless jokes, has a rich history that spans centuries. One of the most enduring and delightful traditions associated with this day is the French custom of Poissons d'Avril, or "April Fish." This charming tradition, which dates back to at least the 15th century, involves playing a practical joke on someone by attaching paper fish to their back and telling them they have been "caught" as an April Fool. This photograph, taken circa 1915, captures the essence of the Poissons d'Avril tradition. A young girl, dressed in a simple white blouse and holding a wicker basket, is pictured in a quaint French village setting. The basket, brimming with an array of colorful paper fish, is the centerpiece of her April Fools' Day prank. Her playful expression and the mischievous twinkle in her eyes betray the delight she takes in her deception. The origins of this tradition are shrouded in mystery, with various theories suggesting that it may have originated from the ancient Roman festival of Hilaria or the renewal of spring. Regardless of its origins, the Poissons d'Avril custom has become a cherished part of French culture and a symbol of the joy and camaraderie that April Fools' Day brings. As you gaze upon this enchanting image, you can't help but be transported back in time, to a simpler era when the world seemed a little more magical and the spirit of April Fools' Day was alive and well. So, would you like a fish from this young girl's basket? You would? Then you're an April Fool, for these are Poissons d'Avril – the traditional French April Fools' Day joke.
