EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Surnumeraire, illustration from Moeurs Administratives" takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a satirical glimpse into the world of bureaucracy and administration. Created by Henri Monnier and lithographed by Delpech in Paris around 1828, this hand-coloured lithograph showcases Monnier's talent for caricature. In this comical scene, we find ourselves in an office filled with bureaucratic chaos. A male bureaucrat sits at his cluttered desk adorned with stacks of papers and quills. His oversized hat adds a touch of whimsy to his serious demeanor as he diligently writes away. The exaggerated features on his face highlight the artist's intention to poke fun at administrative habits. Monnier's sharp wit shines through as he captures the essence of government bureaucracy during that era. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, administrative red tape was subject to ridicule and satire. Displayed within this private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this engraving offers viewers a unique window into historical humor while shedding light on the timeless frustrations associated with bureaucracy. Whether you appreciate its artistic value or simply enjoy a good laugh at the expense of administrators past, "Surnumeraire" is sure to bring joy and amusement to any observer fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
