EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'assiette au beurre n°219 du 10 June 1905: Misery of the horse" by Nadar captures a poignant scene from early 20th century France. The image, measuring 31.2x24.7 cm, showcases the artistic collaboration between Auguste Roubille and Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. In this thought-provoking composition, we witness the harsh reality faced by horses in urban transportation during that era. A weary horse pulls a fiacre through pouring rain while being whipped by its driver. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, conveying both the physical strain endured by these noble creatures and their emotional suffering. Nadar, also known as Félix Tournachon (1820-1910), was renowned for his pioneering work as a photographer during the late 19th century. Meanwhile, Steinlen (1859-1923) established himself as a prominent painter and artist of his time. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten—a glimpse into French history where animals were subjected to arduous labor without respite or compassion. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards animal welfare and prompts us to reflect on societal progress since then. This remarkable piece of art encapsulates not only the skillful craftsmanship of its creators but also carries profound social commentary that transcends time and continues to resonate with viewers today.
