EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a fascinating historical moment in Paris during November 19,1871. Titled "Correspondence from the grave, Telemaque son of Ulysses writing to the President of the Republic" this artwork by Albert Humbert replaces a censored cartoon by Gill on the cover of "L'Eclipse". The image showcases an engraving that depicts Telemaque, the son of Ulysses from Greek mythology, writing a letter to the President of France. This intriguing piece combines elements of French caricature and press from that era. It offers a unique perspective on political commentary and satire prevalent at the time. The artist's intention was likely to criticize or comment on contemporary events or figures through this imaginative portrayal. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this historic artwork in his photograph, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. With its intricate details and artistic style, viewers can delve into the past and gain insight into societal attitudes during this period. As we observe this print today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic value but also its significance as a historical artifact. It serves as a testament to how art has long been used as a medium for expressing dissenting opinions and challenging authority throughout history.
