EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Assiette au Beurre, number 381, Satirique en couleurs, 1908_7_18: Hobbies, Greve" takes us back to the early 20th century in France. The image captures a moment of societal unrest and leisure intertwined within the bustling atmosphere of a railway station. Intriguingly composed by Maurice Radiguet, this satirical engraving showcases the diverse hobbies and interests of the French population during that era. Amidst a backdrop of pace and docks, we witness individuals engrossed in their pastimes while waiting for their train at Compagnie de l'Ouest. The artist's keen eye highlights not only the various forms of entertainment but also hints at underlying tensions between different social classes. The bourgeoisie can be seen engaging in activities such as reading newspapers or indulging in conversation while others partake in more modest pursuits like playing cards or simply observing their surroundings. As public transport plays a significant role in connecting people from all walks of life, this print serves as a window into French society during those years. It offers an intriguing glimpse into how leisure time was spent amidst an ever-changing landscape shaped by technological advancements. With its impeccable detail and historical significance, this print transports viewers to another time - one where press played an influential role in shaping opinions and where journeys were not just physical but also symbolic reflections of society itself.
