EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Preservatif contre les facheux" transports us back in time to an era where unwelcome visitors were a common annoyance. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of this societal issue, providing a humorous yet relatable scene. The image depicts an elegant apartment hallway adorned with intricate details and luxurious furnishings. A precursor to modern technology is showcased as a woman holds up what appears to be a new video phone, suggesting that even in the past, people sought ways to avoid unwanted interactions. Ingeniously, the artwork presents a solution for dealing with bothersome individuals: a "preservatif" or protection against nuisances. A mirror strategically placed on the wall reflects an invisible upstairs neighbor who has come up with an ingenious idea. By attaching strings from his bell-ringing contraption to various apartments' door handles, he can effectively ward off potential bores before they even enter. The concept behind this clever invention is both amusing and practical. It speaks volumes about human nature's desire for privacy and tranquility within their own homes while showcasing the ingenuity of our ancestors in finding creative solutions. Preserved within private collections, this digitally cleaned image offers us not only artistic beauty but also insight into historical perspectives on social interactions and personal boundaries.
