EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an engraving by Honore Daumier from 1858 titled "Les hippophages (eaters of horses)". In the image, a conversation unfolds in a restaurant setting, highlighting the controversial topic of horse meat during a food scandal. The scene depicts a server presenting a plate with what appears to be a horse's foot to a surprised and bewildered customer. The artwork reflects the artist's skillful caricature style, showcasing his ability to convey complex emotions through visual storytelling. The customer's expression of amazement and disbelief perfectly encapsulates society's reaction to this shocking revelation about their food. Daumier masterfully portrays themes of communication, distrust, and vigilance within French society at that time. The tablecloth adorned with various farm animals symbolizes the connection between humans and animals as sources of sustenance. Through this thought-provoking piece, Daumier challenges viewers' perceptions about diet choices while shedding light on societal issues surrounding food production. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of France in the 19th century. This remarkable photograph print by Patrice Cartier allows us to appreciate Daumier's artistry while contemplating our own relationship with food and its impact on society.
