EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment in history as Landish shepherds make their way to their polling division. The image, taken from the pages of "Le Petit Parisien" on May 13th, 1906, showcases the unique tradition and customs of these French shepherds. Dressed in traditional costumes, these shepherd riders proudly sit atop their saddles while embarking on an important journey. With determination etched on their faces, they symbolize the power of democracy and civic duty. As they traverse through the picturesque landscapes of Aquitaine in southwestern France, one can't help but be captivated by this scene frozen in time. The engraving not only highlights the significance of elections during that era but also sheds light on the cultural heritage and rural life prevalent in Landes 40 region. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast fields and remote villages, every voice matters. Leonard de Selva's skillful capture brings forth a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when traditions were deeply rooted and campaigns were made through various means including press engravings like this one. This artwork is now part of a private collection but continues to inspire curiosity about French history and its people. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to those years around 1900 when such scenes were commonplace - reminding us how far society has come while honoring our shared past.
