EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "But resting places at the top of steeples generally fail to be comfortable" by Joaquin Xaudaru y Echau depicts a humorous and satirical scene from early twentieth-century aviation. The illustration, originally created for Les Peripeties de L Aviation, showcases the artist's wit and talent in capturing the essence of flight. In this comical image, we see an aircraft perched precariously on top of a steeple, highlighting the absurdity and impracticality of using such structures as resting places. The vibrant colors used in the lithograph bring life to this whimsical scene, adding to its charm. The cartoon-like style employed by Xaudaru adds a touch of humor to the artwork. It is evident that he intended to poke fun at the challenges faced by aviators during those pioneering days of flight. The exaggerated proportions and playful details make it clear that comfort was far from being a priority when it came to finding suitable landing spots. This piece not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how far aviation has come since then. It invites us to reflect on our progress while appreciating the creativity and imagination behind this satirical drawing. "But resting places at the top of steeples generally fail to be comfortable" is an intriguing visual representation that combines artistry with social commentary, making it an engaging addition to any collection or exhibition.
