Animals Find Humor in a Zoo Visit - A Delightful Belle Époque Print
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This charming color lithograph captures a whimsical moment at the zoo, where animals seem to be thoroughly amused by the presence of a couple. Created by Benjamin Rabier, a renowned French cartoonist and caricaturist, this illustration was featured in L Album, Les Maitres de la Caricature in 1902. In this comical scene from the early 20th century, we see a man and woman strolling through the zoo with their pet dog. Little do they know that they have become the source of entertainment for an array of animals. The elephants trumpet with laughter as they witness this peculiar sight while monkeys swing from tree branches, unable to contain their amusement. Even the regal giraffes lean over their enclosure to catch a glimpse of this hilarious spectacle. Lions roar with laughter and even hippos crack wide grins at the absurdity unfolding before them. The couple themselves appear oblivious to being objects of ridicule as they walk hand-in-hand. The man carries a walking stick and enjoys his cigar while wearing an elegant hat and suit. The woman dons an exquisite dress that perfectly matches her sense of wonderment. Rabier's skillful use of humor and caricature brings life to these mischievous animal characters who find joy in mocking human behavior. This delightful print not only showcases Rabier's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into the lightheartedness prevalent during France's belle époque era.
