EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the Tapestry du bal from the early 19th century. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, specifically at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image depicts a lively ballroom scene filled with intriguing characters engaged in animated conversations. Amidst the crowd stands a young woman who seems to be engrossed in a conversation that evokes mixed emotions. Her delicate features are juxtaposed against an engraving that highlights elements of human caricature and ugliness. The composition skillfully portrays contrasting physical attributes as well. The slender figures gracefully dance around her while she stands out due to her slightly overweight appearance. This stark contrast adds depth to the narrative, shedding light on societal standards of beauty during that time period. Photographer Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this moment frozen in time, allowing viewers to immerse themselves into this world of mondanity and elegance. As we delve into this photograph's intricate details, it prompts us to reflect upon our own perceptions of beauty and how they have evolved over time.
