EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of the book "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" by Grandville. Published in Paris in 1842, this book is a collection of contemporary societal studies illustrated with vignettes by JJ Granville. The frontispiece itself is a remarkable piece of art, featuring anthropomorphized animals engaging in various activities. In this intricate engraving, we see a range of animal characters including a dog, an owl, a scarab beetle, and even a parrot playing musical instruments like the trumpet. Each animal represents different aspects of society and their actions are cleverly caricatured to reflect human behavior. The attention to detail in this artwork is astounding - from the expressions on each animal's face to the meticulous rendering of their feathers or fur. It truly brings these creatures to life while simultaneously providing social commentary on French society during that time period. This particular print was captured by Jean Duvallon and belongs to a private collection. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also provides insight into how animals have been used as metaphors throughout history for understanding human nature and societal dynamics.
