EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Les Nouvellistes, 1768" by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. The scene unfolds within a humble cottage where a group of individuals has gathered for an evening of storytelling and relaxation. The room is filled with anticipation as the storyteller captivates his audience with tales that transport them to distant lands. The poor yet contented family huddles around him, their faces illuminated by the flickering candlelight. A mother cradles her baby in her arms while listening intently to every word spoken. In this intimate setting, oral history comes alive as generations pass down stories from one another. This image beautifully captures the essence of social history and domestic life during this era. It reminds us of the power of storytelling as a form of entertainment and connection in daily life. Le Prince's meticulous attention to detail brings out the authenticity and warmth exuded by each character present in this scene. From the worn-out furniture to the rustic surroundings, every element adds depth and richness to this visual narrative. As we gaze upon "Les Nouvellistes" we are transported not only into a different time but also into our own imaginations – reminding us that even amidst simplicity, stories have always held immense power in shaping our understanding of ourselves and others.
