EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of 19th-century Paris, where we find ourselves standing in front of the Prison de la petite Roquette. This particular section of the prison was dedicated to housing women and teenagers, a fact that adds an intriguing layer to our understanding of this historical landmark. The image focuses on "Les Cuisines" or the kitchens, which were undoubtedly a central hub within the prison walls. The engraving by Felix Thorigny beautifully captures the intricate details of this bustling space. We can almost imagine the clatter of pots and pans, as well as catch a glimpse of weary faces working tirelessly to prepare meals for those behind bars. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to ponder about life inside these walls during that era. What stories did these women and teenagers carry with them? How did they cope with their confinement? And what hopes and dreams lingered within their hearts? Stefano Bianchetti's expertly preserved print allows us a rare glimpse into history - one that invites contemplation and reflection. It serves as a reminder that even within places associated with darkness and despair, there exists resilience, strength, and untold narratives waiting patiently to be discovered.
