EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical coloured engraving captures the lively atmosphere of the Cafe des Varietes in early 19th century Paris. The caricature, created by the French School, showcases a scene near the Theatre des Varietes, where actors and performers would gather before their shows. The print titled "The Day Before or The Terrible Omen" depicts a group of individuals dressed in elaborate costumes, possibly actors themselves. Their exaggerated features and expressions add a touch of humor to the scene. One can't help but notice the worry etched on their faces as they engage in animated conversations. A mustachioed waiter rushes through the terrace carrying trays filled with drinks while wearing spurs on his boots, adding an element of chaos to this bustling cafe setting. The patrons seem concerned about something unknown, creating an air of anticipation and panic. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving - from the intricate dress designs to the carefully crafted facial expressions. It offers a glimpse into both everyday life at this popular gathering spot for artists and performers during that era. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, this artwork brings forth nostalgia for a bygone era when cafes were not only places for refreshments but also served as social hubs for creative minds.
