EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Assiette au Beurre, number 210, Satirique en couleurs, 1905_4_8: Social, Medical" takes us back to the early 20th century in France. The image captures a powerful satirical scene that reflects the social and medical issues of its time. In this thought-provoking artwork by Maurice Radiguet, we see a group of individuals representing different societal roles. A politician dressed as a senator stands alongside a painter, businessman, laborer, and doctor. Each character is meticulously engraved with intricate details that bring them to life. The central focus of the image is on two men discussing an important matter - Blanc de ceruse poisoning. This toxic substance was commonly used in cosmetics during that era and caused severe health issues among women who used it regularly. The expert standing beside them adds credibility to their conversation. Through this piece, Radiguet sheds light on the pressing concerns surrounding public health and safety at the turn of the century. It serves as both a critique of society's negligence towards these issues and an invitation for dialogue about necessary reforms. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to resonate with contemporary audiences.
