EDITORS COMMENTS
In this winter scene captured by Charles-Henri-Joseph Leickert in 1893, we are transported to a quaint village street blanketed in snow. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring the chilly atmosphere to life as we observe the daily activities of the villagers. The architecture of the houses lining the street is beautifully depicted, with their chimneys emitting plumes of smoke into the frosty air. A broom leans against one house, suggesting that someone has recently cleared a path through the snow. A child pulls a sledge behind them, adding an element of playfulness amidst the wintry landscape. As our eyes wander further down the street, we notice a small archway leading to another part of town. It serves as both a physical and metaphorical gateway, inviting us to explore beyond what is immediately visible. A stall stands at one corner, perhaps selling warm beverages or treats to passersby seeking respite from the cold. Children can be seen bundled up in coats and scarves, their rosy cheeks contrasting against their snowy surroundings. Leickert's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to this enchanting painting. As we gaze upon this timeless image, it reminds us not only of simpler times but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for winters past. This exquisite print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also invites us into an immersive world where poverty coexists with joyous moments shared by children playing freely in nature's icy
