EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ephemeral fortification" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of childhood joy and imagination. The engraving by Charles Gillot, created around 1900, showcases a scene on a French beach where a child is engrossed in building an ephemeral sand fortress. The image exudes nostalgia as it transports us to simpler times when children found delight in simple pleasures. With the sun shining brightly overhead, the young boy dons a hat while meticulously constructing his sandy stronghold. His concentration is evident as he carefully molds each grain of sand into place. This artwork beautifully encapsulates the essence of youth and playfulness. It reminds us of carefree days spent at the beach, where games were invented on-the-spot and imaginations ran wild. The artist's attention to detail brings out every texture and contour of the sandcastle, making it feel almost tangible. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this timeless moment through his expert printing technique, preserving its charm for generations to come. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving, we are reminded that even though time passes quickly, memories like these remain etched in our hearts forever.
