EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Daguerreopipers or Talent comes in sleep" captures the essence of an ironic article published in the 19th-century journal, "Today, journal of ridicules". The unknown artist behind this thought-provoking piece challenges the emerging profession of photographers with a touch of satire. In a time when modernization and advancements were rapidly changing society, the artist questions whether photography truly requires talent or if it is merely a product of laziness. The engraving portrays individuals known as Daguerreopipers, who are depicted sleeping while their cameras capture images automatically. This clever juxtaposition highlights the notion that talent can be found even in slumber. The image serves as a critique on the growing labor market for photographers and raises questions about artistic authenticity. It suggests that anyone can become a photographer without possessing true skill or creativity. By mocking this new profession, the artist challenges societal values surrounding art and questions whether capital sins such as laziness have infiltrated this field. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historic artwork from his private collection. As we delve into its intricate details, we are reminded of how art has always been at the forefront of reflecting social change and challenging conventional norms.
