Pardon of saint anne la palud: the singer of breton complaints. It shows what the activity of the merchants of songs on loose sheets was. The pardons were the best occasions because they attracted a large crowd as eager for distractions as for pious exercises. The tents in the background sheltered small shops selling souvenirs or sweets. The singer is mounted on a crate and his loose sheets are spread out on the ground and held in place by stones. While he sings, his wife (on the right) takes care of the sale. Those who have already bought the song, like the man on the far left, follow the text interpreted. Date: 1902.
