EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of the Gypsy festival at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France. The colourful lithograph showcases a gathering of Roma gypsies in their traditional costumes, celebrating the feast of St Sarah. Every year, these travellers make a pilgrimage to this picturesque town in the Camargue region to honor their patron saint. The image transports us back to May 24th, 1908 when Le Petit Parisien published this illustration as part of its literary supplement. It beautifully depicts the lively atmosphere and rich cultural heritage of the festival. Women dressed in exquisite attire can be seen mingling with others from different caravans, creating an enchanting spectacle. The significance of this event lies not only in its religious context but also in its celebration of French culture and European traditions. It serves as a testament to the diversity and unity within Europe's melting pot. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded that travel is not just about physical journeys but also about immersing ourselves in new experiences and embracing different cultures. This print invites us to embark on our own journey through time and space, exploring both history and tradition. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable moment for future generations to appreciate and learn from – a visual treasure that encapsulates the spirit of community, faith, and wanderlust all at once.
