EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "gut9988" takes us back to the 19th century with its satirical depiction of societal views on weight and obesity. Created by Frederic Theodore Lix for the book "Les memorables aventures du docteur J. B. Quies" this illustration showcases a moment of weighing a heavyset man on an agricultural scale. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details, highlighting both the physicality of the man and the instrument used to measure his weight. The exaggerated portrayal serves as a commentary on society's obsession with appearances during that era. Through this satirical cartoon, Lix mocks prevailing attitudes towards body image, shedding light on issues such as overweight, excess pounds, and obesity. It invites viewers to reflect upon how these concerns were perceived in the past while drawing parallels to contemporary discussions surrounding body positivity and acceptance. The print captures not only historical aspects but also reflects France's cultural influence during that time period. Patrice Cartier has expertly preserved this piece of art from the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate its significance today. As we admire this thought-provoking artwork, let us remember that it is essential to approach conversations about weight with empathy and understanding rather than mockery or judgment.
