EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Messidor (June/July)" the tenth month of the Republican Calendar, engraved by Tresca in France around 1794. The image, created by Louis Lafitte and housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, depicts a personification of Messidor as a female figure. In this enchanting scene, Messidor is represented as the embodiment of summer and cancer zodiac sign. She reclines peacefully amidst a field of vibrant poppies with her eyes gently closed. Her serene expression exudes tranquility and relaxation. The artist skillfully incorporates various symbolic elements into the composition to convey the essence of this particular time period. A crab symbolizing Cancer crawls near her feet, emphasizing the connection between Messidor and this astrological sign. Furthermore, she holds a sickle in one hand while cradling an abundant cornucopia against her bosom with another arm. These objects represent agriculture and harvest—a nod to the importance of farming during this season. Overall, Lafitte's engraving beautifully captures both the visual beauty and deeper meaning behind Messidor within the context of French history and culture during that era. It serves as a timeless reminder of how art can encapsulate historical moments through its intricate details and symbolism.
