EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Explorers, a whimsical and satirical masterpiece captured in this vibrant color lithograph from the front cover of Le Rire on 18th May 1901. Created by Caran D'Ache and Emmanuel Poire, this artwork transports us to a French drawing room where two adventurers proudly regale an audience of elegant ladies with their tales of exploration. With exaggerated gestures and boastful expressions, these explorers embody the essence of braggarts. One man points to himself triumphantly as he claims credit for introducing kissing (or screwing) to China upon his arrival. The other explorer stands tall, showcasing his impressive moustache while relishing in the attention bestowed upon him. This comic scene is filled with humor and satire, poking fun at male vanity and society's fascination with exotic adventures. The opulent setting, complete with a grand fireplace, adds to the ambiance of a refined salon gathering. Caran D'Ache and Emmanuel Poire skillfully capture both the absurdity and charm of these characters through their intricate detailing and use of vivid colors. This print serves as a delightful reminder that even in the world of exploration, there is room for laughter. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its playful depiction of human nature. "
