EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively lithograph captures the essence of a mid-lent celebration in 19th century France. Titled "Pitous Mid-Lent" this print showcases a scene from the comic strip story, "20 Images, Dispositions Diverses". The image depicts a soldier in uniform, unaware of the trouble he has gotten himself into after overindulging in wine during the festivities. The soldier is shown surrounded by fellow troops, all engaged in merriment and revelry. The atmosphere is one of joyous celebration as they raise their glasses to toast and rejoice. However, little do they know that their stolen moments of fun will have consequences. The artist skillfully portrays the consequences of excessive drinking through this comical illustration. The soldier's expression reveals his state of drunkenness while his comrades continue to enjoy themselves obliviously. This artwork not only highlights the festive spirit but also serves as a cautionary tale about overindulgence during holiday parties. It reminds us that even amidst great tribulation and rejoicings, it is important to be mindful of our actions and their potential repercussions. "Pitous Mid-Lent" offers an intriguing glimpse into French culture and European traditions during this period. It encapsulates both the joyous nature of celebrations and the humorous side effects that can arise from too much imbibing. This lithograph invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with celebratory events while appreciating its artistic charm.
