EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1864, immersing us in the world of French cuisine and gastronomy. The image is a wood engraving after Bertall, created for an edition of Jean Brillat-Savarin's renowned book "Physiologie du Gout" which was first published in 1825. In this scene, we find ourselves outside a bustling European restaurant. A middle-aged man and woman are seated at a table, eagerly indulging in their meal while engaging in lively conversation. A native waiter stands nearby, ready to attend to their every need with impeccable service. The satirical nature of the engraving becomes apparent as we observe various humorous elements scattered throughout the composition. From a comically exaggerated stove emitting smoke to an amusing carousel collection of food items on display, it is clear that this artwork aims to entertain as much as it informs. With its intricate details and playful depiction of people enjoying good food and company, this print captures the essence of French culinary culture during that era. It serves as both a historical document showcasing dining customs and an artistic expression reflecting the wit and humor prevalent in society at the time. As part of The Granger Collection's vast repertoire, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us into another era filled with delectable flavors and conviviality.
