EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This photo print, titled "Walking match of midinettes, Paris, St Catherines Day, 1931" captures the vibrant celebration of the feast of Saint Catherine on November 25th in Paris. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ernest Flammarion, who beautifully portrays a group of midinettes - Parisian salesgirls - as they take to the streets to commemorate this religious festival. Intriguingly framed against the backdrop of a bustling Parisian street, these young women exude elegance and grace in their traditional attire. With their heads adorned with intricate hats symbolizing their unmarried status (known as catherinettes), they proudly showcase their devotion to both fashion and faith. Flammarion's illustration from his book "Paris" provides us with a glimpse into French culture during the early 20th century. It encapsulates not only the importance of religion but also highlights the significant role played by shop assistants in society at that time. Through this monochrome image, we are transported back to an era where tradition met modernity on every corner. As we observe these women walking together along the road lined with shops and boutiques, it becomes evident that this moment represents more than just a religious procession; it signifies unity among women working towards shared goals amidst societal expectations. Ernest Flammarion's work continues to captivate viewers even today through its timeless depiction of history and culture.
