EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the "Series Les beaux jours de la vie" by Honore Daumier. Titled "A new nobleman, plate 66" this illustration showcases Daumier's satirical genius as he humorously portrays the vanity and pretentiousness of Parisian society in the mid-19th century. In this particular image, we see a male figure in profile, dressed in an extravagant livery with a jabot adorning his neck. He is depicted as a newly ennobled baron, standing inside an opulent interior. The servant beside him announces his arrival to Monsieur le Baron de Bois-Flotte (Baron of the Wood-Float), adding an element of irony to the composition. Daumier's caricature style brilliantly exposes the bourgeois obsession with social status and their desire for recognition within high society. Through subtle details and exaggerated features, he invites viewers to reflect on human vanities that remain relevant even today. The lithograph was originally published in Le Charivari on July 2nd, 1845. Measuring at 22.1x20.3 cm, it is now housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. This remarkable piece of art serves as both historical documentation and artistic commentary on societal norms during its time period. It continues to captivate audiences with its wit and incisive observations about human nature.
