EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to 1858, where the world of French high society comes alive through the artistry of Honore Daumier. The illustration is taken from his "Sketch d'Ete" series, which humorously depicts scenes of swimming and baths. The scene captured in this particular artwork showcases a momentous introduction between two influential figures - Mr. Baron and Mr. Merouet. As one of the biggest bankers in France, Mr. Merouet exudes an air of importance and power as he stands confidently beside Mr. Baron. Daumier's caricature style brings out the essence of these characters with exaggerated features that add a touch of whimsy to the scene. The businessman attire worn by both men contrasts amusingly with their skinny frames, highlighting their dedication to their work rather than physical appearance. The setting takes place at a poolside, symbolizing not only leisure but also wealth and privilege associated with the nobility during that era. Through this artwork, Daumier offers us a glimpse into French mondanity while subtly critiquing societal norms. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historic piece through his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate Daumier's intricate engravings even more closely today. This print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
