EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eve of Marriage, Illustration for Le Rire (colour litho) captures the essence of French humor and social commentary in the late 19th century. Created by Caran d'Ache, a pseudonym for Emmanuel Poire, this satirical cartoon was published in Le Rire magazine on August 26,1899. In this amusing and instructional artwork, we see a couple on the eve of their wedding day. The exaggerated caricatures depict not only their excitement but also their apprehension about what lies ahead. With his signature wit and cleverness, Caran d'Ache explores the anatomical aspects of marriage with a touch of sexual innuendo. The use of vibrant colors adds to the overall comedic effect while drawing attention to specific details such as glasses worn by one character. This playful illustration combines elements from mythology and religion to create a scathing satire on societal norms surrounding marriage and sexuality. As an artist known for his humorous illustrations that often pushed boundaries, Caran d'Ache's work served as both entertainment and critique during a time when discussions around contraception and bodily functions were considered taboo. This print is now part of a private collection but continues to be appreciated for its historical significance in French culture. It reminds us that art has always been used as a medium to challenge societal norms while providing amusement.
