EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Les Plaisirs de la Villegiature" an illustration from Le Charivari in 1858 by Honore Daumier. The artwork, measuring 25.1x20.8 cm, is housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. In this satirical cartoon, we see a male and female couple enjoying their holiday pleasures. The man proudly wears a top hat and spectacles while the woman carries a parasol to shield herself from the sun. They are city dwellers venturing into the countryside for some relaxation. The scene depicts their encounter with a farmer tending to his garden. The urbanites express their curiosity about an unusual tree before them – a cherry tree grafted with an apple tree last year. They eagerly anticipate what it will yield this year but notice caterpillars already infesting it. Daumier's caricature humorously portrays the contrast between city life and nature, highlighting the naiveté of these Parisians exploring unfamiliar territory outside their comfort zone. This print offers us insight into 19th-century French society's fascination with leisure activities during holidays as well as its tendency towards satire and social commentary through art forms like cartoons published in magazines such as Le Charivari.
