EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print, we are transported back to the year 1930, where superstition and patriotism intertwine on the rugby field. The French rugby team is depicted in their casual attire, preparing themselves for a fierce battle against the Irish team. However, it seems they have an unconventional method of summoning luck - by indulging in good French wine. The engraving from "Le Petite Journal Illustree" captures the essence of this unique ritual. As they gather around a barrel filled with red wine brought from home, their faces reflect determination mixed with anticipation. Each player holds a glass of wine in hand, ready to toast to victory. This artwork not only showcases the passion for rugby but also highlights France's deep-rooted love affair with wine. It symbolizes how these athletes draw strength and confidence from their cultural heritage as they prepare for battle on the field. The artist Stefano Bianchetti masterfully brings this scene to life through his intricate drawing technique. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the expressions on each player's face to even a lucky ring worn by one of them. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are reminded that sometimes success lies not just in physical prowess but also in embracing tradition and finding inspiration in unexpected places.
