EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent project of an air railway, envisioned by the talented artist Honore Daumier. The artwork depicts a futuristic scene where the Pantheon is connected to Buttes-Montmartre through an elaborate railway system suspended in mid-air. The attention to detail is remarkable, with intricate carriages gliding effortlessly above the bustling streets of Paris. Daumier's caricature style adds a touch of humor to this imaginative piece. In his satirical commentary on the railways, he highlights the exorbitant cost of two hundred million francs for such an ambitious endeavor. He cleverly juxtaposes this expense against its potential income, which he deems incalculable. The artist's portrayal not only captures the anticipation and excitement surrounding technological advancements in 19th-century France but also serves as a reminder that progress often comes at a steep price. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to ponder the balance between innovation and practicality. Leonard de Selva has skillfully photographed this historical engraving from Daumier's "Maileurs d'Affaires" series, preserving its artistic integrity while offering us a glimpse into French society during that era. As we admire this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness Daumier's vision of what could have been - an extraordinary air railway connecting iconic landmarks in Paris.
