EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Parisians eagerly awaited the arrival of a famous comet. The scene is brought to life through the masterful caricature by Honore Daumier, an artist known for his satirical depictions of French society. In this engraving from 1857, we see a bustling street filled with people from all walks of life. The fear and anxiety on their faces are palpable as they gaze up at the night sky, anticipating the celestial spectacle that awaits them. Amongst the crowd stands a young girl, her wide-eyed wonder mirroring that of those around her. Daumier's keen eye for detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. He skillfully portrays not only the physical features but also the emotions and personalities of each individual depicted. From members of the bourgeoisie to ordinary citizens, everyone shares in this collective experience. The atmosphere captured in this image speaks volumes about French society during this time period - a mix of curiosity, anticipation, and perhaps even superstition. It serves as a reminder that no matter our social status or background, we are all united by our shared awe and fascination with nature's wonders. Leonard de Selva has beautifully preserved this historical artwork through his photography skills. This print allows us to appreciate Daumier's genius while immersing ourselves in an intriguing moment frozen in time.
