EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Cafe! Cafe!" takes us back to the pre-revolutionary era in France, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a French cafe during the 18th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this cultural hub. The scene depicted showcases individuals from various walks of life engaging in animated conversations over cups of coffee or glasses of wine. The composition is bustling with activity as patrons engage in passionate discussions, laughter fills the air, and waiters scurry around attending to their customers' needs. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every character seems to have a story written on their faces. From elegantly dressed aristocrats deep in conversation to bohemian artists passionately debating philosophy, this engraving encapsulates the diversity and intellectual fervor that characterized these establishments. "Cafe! Cafe!" was originally commissioned as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book "The XVIIIth Century" published by Bickers and Son around 1880. It offers viewers a window into an important aspect of French culture during this period - where ideas were exchanged freely and revolutionary thoughts simmered beneath the surface. This print serves as a reminder of how cafes played a significant role not only as meeting places but also as catalysts for social change during one of France's most transformative periods.
