EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Enfance, 'In childhood always crying, books of all colors" takes us back to the 18th century and captures the essence of a poignant verse by J. J. Rousseau. The image showcases a piece from the French School, found in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The artwork portrays a young child surrounded by an array of colorful books. The child's expression reflects sorrow and sadness, symbolizing the burdens carried during childhood. This evocative depiction reminds us of Rousseau's belief that children are often overwhelmed with emotions and subjected to various forms of punishment. The engraving beautifully conveys both innocence and melancholy simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even in childhood, tears can be shed over countless pages filled with knowledge and stories. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image today, it transports us back to an era when education was intertwined with discipline and emotional struggles were part of growing up. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates centuries-old sentiments about childhood experiences that still resonate today.
