EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Puppets" transports us back to the enchanting world of traditional Chinese puppet shows. Created by Mlle. Formentin and published between 1824-27, this print beautifully captures the essence of Asian theater. Intricately engraved with meticulous detail, each character comes to life on the page. The puppets' delicate features are expertly rendered, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship that went into their creation. Their expressive faces seem to tell a story of their own, drawing us into their mesmerizing performance. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient China, we see an audience captivated by the spectacle before them. Fans flutter in anticipation as they watch these miniature actors dance across the stage with grace and precision. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and wonder as people from all walks of life gather together for a night of entertainment. "The Puppets" not only serves as a visual feast but also offers a glimpse into Chinese culture and tradition. It reminds us of the rich history behind this art form and its ability to transport audiences to another time and place. As we admire this exquisite lithograph from Deveria's collection, it becomes clear why it has found its way into private collections around the world. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first published nearly two centuries ago.
