EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un chien chantant au piano" takes us back to the 19th century, where animals were depicted in whimsical and human-like scenarios. The vignettes illustrated by JJ Granville (or J. J. Grandville) transport us into a world of imagination and creativity. In this particular scene, we see a dog sitting at a grand piano, seemingly lost in the music it plays. The intricate details of the engraving, signed by Andrew, Best et Leloir, bring life to every stroke of the keys and every note that resonates from them. The image is part of Honore de Balzac's work "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" specifically within the section entitled "Peines de cour d'une chatte anglaise". Balzac's writing adds depth to this visual masterpiece as he explores the private and public lives of animals through his unique storytelling style. Published in Paris by J. Hetzel et Paulin in 1842 under the direction of P. -J. Stahl (pseudonym for Pierre-Jules or Pierre Jules Hetzel), these contemporary studies on animal behavior offer an intriguing glimpse into society during that era. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph captures not only Granville's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with anthropomorphizing animals throughout history. A true testament to art's ability to transcend time and evoke emotions across generations.
