EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration by the renowned French caricaturist, Benjamin Rabier, created around the turn of the 20th century, circa 1901. In this image, Rabier is depicted in a self-portrait, engrossed in his work as a caricaturist. He sits at a table, his pipe clenched between his teeth, emitting a series of smoke rings that add a whimsical touch to the scene. The artist's intense focus is evident as he sketches a caricature of a man, who stands before him, presumably a model. The background of the illustration is filled with an intriguing parade of people, each waiting their turn to be immortalized in caricature. Their expressions range from amused curiosity to apprehension, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The diverse crowd reflects the rich tapestry of society at the time, with individuals from various walks of life, attired in fashionable clothing of the era. This illustration is taken from "Album des Maîtres de la Caricature," a prestigious collection published by the French company, March of the Women. Rabier's exceptional talent for caricature is on full display in this image, which continues to captivate viewers with its charm and wit over a century after it was created. The parade of models in the background serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the caricaturist's art and the fascinating world it inhabits.
