EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as the MM du Presidial et de la Commune de Vannes offer Saint Anne a silver child in thanksgiving for the birth of Louis de France, also known as the dolphin. The dolphin was born on September 7,1729, and went on to become Louis XV of France from 1715 until his death in 1774. The image showcases the clergy and members of the community presenting this precious gift to Saint Anne at Ex-Voto Sainte Anne d'Auray. It is an ex-voto painting created by an unknown artist during the 19th century. The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-d'Auray serves as a backdrop for this scene. The offering symbolizes gratitude and devotion towards Saint Anne for her intercession in granting them such a blessed event - the birth of their future king. This act demonstrates both religious fervor and loyalty to their nation. The photo itself is captured beautifully by Leonard de Selva, highlighting every intricate detail with precision. From the expressions on people's faces to the delicate features of the silver child being presented, it transports viewers back to that momentous occasion. This image not only represents a historical event but also reflects upon Brittany's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection with religion. It serves as a reminder of how faith can bring communities together even during times of great joy or hardship.
