EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "L'Occasion fait le larron, chimneys pilfering buns" captures a poignant moment in the bustling streets of Paris. Taken by Paul Chocarne Moreau in 1897, it depicts a scene filled with youthful energy and mischievous charm. In the foreground, we see a group of street children huddled around a chimney stack. Their eyes gleam with anticipation as they reach up to snatch freshly baked buns from the warm embrace of the chimney. The artist skillfully portrays their hunger and resourcefulness amidst their challenging circumstances. The composition exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to a bygone era where childhood innocence intertwined with survival instincts. These young bandits embody both vulnerability and resilience as they navigate the harsh realities of life on the streets. Chocarne Moreau's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, capturing not only the physical features but also conveying emotions that resonate deeply within us. This drawing serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of scarcity, human spirit can find solace through camaraderie and ingenuity. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this artwork stands as a testament to Chocarne Moreau's talent for capturing fleeting moments frozen in time. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as poverty, adolescence, and societal inequalities while appreciating the beauty found within everyday struggles. Leonard de Selva
