À l'ancienne #[nn]

A striking contrast anchors this 2019 Éditions Filidalo cover: a towering, shadowy figure looms over a small, elderly man with a walker making his determined way through an autumnal cemetery, fallen leaves swirling around him. The composition — by Monier and Vieillard — plays beautifully with scale and mood, blending something quietly ominous with an oddly tender portrait of old age. If you enjoy Franco-Belgian storytelling with a darkly whimsical edge, À l'ancienne looks like a genuinely compelling addition to your shelf.
