EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving, created in 1844 by the talented artist Grandville for his renowned work "Un Autre Monde" depicts an obese woman and child. The intricate details of this print showcase the skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation. The central figure is a woman, her ample form emphasized by the artist's deliberate strokes. She stands confidently, adorned in a fashionable dress that reflects the middle-class style of the era. A stool supports her weight as she gazes out with an air of self-assurance, challenging societal norms and expectations. Beside her stands a young girl, perhaps her daughter or protege. Despite their contrasting sizes, there is an undeniable connection between them - a bond that transcends physical appearances. Grandville's illustration cleverly combines elements of parody and entertainment to provoke thought and reflection on society's obsession with beauty standards. The exaggerated proportions serve as a commentary on how women were often judged solely based on their appearance during this time period. With delicate engravings depicting accessories such as bracelets, hats adorned with plumes, and other fashion embellishments popular at the time, this artwork transports us back to 19th-century France while also inviting us to question our own perceptions of beauty and body image today. As part of The Granger Collection's vast portfolio of historical prints, this piece offers viewers not only aesthetic pleasure but also serves as a reminder to challenge conventional notions and embrace diversity in all its forms.
