EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases a wood engraving titled "PHYSIOLOGIE DU GOUT, 1864. Obesity and Thinness". The artwork is based on an illustration by Bertall, featured in the 1864 edition of Jean Brillat-Savarin's famous book "Physiology du Gout" which was initially published in 1825. The image depicts a humorous satire on the contrasting states of obesity and thinness. A French couple stands at the center, representing two extremes of body size. The woman appears plump and curvaceous, symbolizing obesity, while her male counterpart stands lean and slender to represent thinness. This comical portrayal reflects societal attitudes towards body image during that era. The wood engraving technique adds depth to the intricate details captured by Bertall's skilled hand. Every line etched into the medium brings life to this satirical scene, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As part of the Carousel Collection curated by The Granger Collection, this print offers a glimpse into middle-class life in France during the mid-19th century. It serves as a reminder that humor has always been an essential aspect of human existence across different cultures and time periods.
