EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and satirical lithograph titled "Hygiene" by Benjamin Rabier captures the essence of French comic illustration from the early 20th century. The comical scene depicts a family engaged in various activities related to health and fitness, all with a touch of wit and charm. In this lively composition, we see a man lifting heavy bags as part of his exercise routine while two young boys imitate him, showcasing their strength. Meanwhile, two girls hold money in their hands, perhaps symbolizing the idea that good hygiene can lead to financial prosperity. Rabier's caricature style adds an element of satire to the artwork, highlighting societal attitudes towards cleanliness and physical well-being during that time period. The exaggerated features and expressions on each character's face add to the overall comedic effect. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the costumes worn by each individual to the intricate background elements that give us a glimpse into daily life in France at that time. Overall, "Hygiene" is not only amusing but also serves as a scathing commentary on societal norms surrounding health practices. It reminds us that even though times have changed since its creation in 1904, there will always be room for humor when it comes to matters of hygiene and wellness.
