EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Cards from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. Created by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as J. J. Grandville, this wood engraving captures a moment of fortune telling and patience. Intriguingly set in a cozy room adorned with elegant furniture, we see a group of women gathered around a table engrossed in playing cards. Each woman's expression reveals her anticipation and curiosity as they seek guidance from the deck before them. The artist skillfully portrays the atmosphere of mystery and divination through his meticulous attention to detail. From the delicate engravings on each card to the intricate patterns on the tablecloth, every element adds depth to this scene. "The Cards from The Complete Works of Beranger" not only showcases Grandville's artistic prowess but also invites us into an era where such practices held great significance. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought answers and predictions about their lives through various means. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness these women engaging with tradition and embracing their belief in destiny.
