Artist's Comments
In 1602, the army of duke of Savoie (currently in France) decided to invade the independent republic of Geneva.
Fortunately, the authorities had been informed of the infamous duke's projects and the people of Geneva had time to prepare the resistance ! In the night of the 12th of December 1602, the Savoie army has therefore been defeated and had to escape back to where it came from, despite it's huge numerical advantage ! Since this time, we celebrate this victory every year in what is called "l'Escalade". For this occasion, people wear costumes and kids sing old traditional songs in public places to get some pocket money. It's our own Halloween party except it's based on our History ! Daily DeviationGiven 2009-03-01Glance of history by *Ouylle - Who says photojournalism can't be beautiful? The nostalgic feel, as well as the expression of the girls face, make me all warm inside even on these cold winter days. - words by the suggester (Suggested by `robinism and Featured by `Helewidis) |

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.
