EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un café fréquenté par des animaux de tous genres" transports us to a whimsical world where animals of all kinds gather at a café. Illustrated by the talented JJ Granville, also known as J. J. Grandville, this enchanting scene comes from the book "Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux" written by Honoré de Balzac in 1842. The intricate engravings, signed by Godard, depict a lion's journey from Africa to Paris in the section entitled "Voyage d'un lion d'Afrique à Paris". The attention to detail and imagination showcased in these vignettes are truly remarkable. Published under the direction of P. -J. Stahl (the pseudonym for Pierre-Jules Hetzel), this work is part of a series called "Études de mœurs contemporaines" which explores various aspects of contemporary society through animal characters. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into an anthropomorphic world where animals socialize just like humans do. It sparks our curiosity about what conversations might be taking place among these diverse creatures gathered around tables and sipping their beverages. Jean Duvallon's photograph beautifully captures the essence of Granville's illustrations, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail and immerse ourselves in this delightful scene from 19th-century French literature and art.
