EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les requins medecins expliquent leur intervention chirurgicale" takes us back to the year 1842, when it was first published in Paris. The image showcases a series of vignettes illustrated by JJ Granville, also known as J. J. Grandville, a pseudonym for the talented artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard. In this particular scene from "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" we witness an extraordinary sight: sharks acting as doctors and explaining their surgical intervention. The intricate details and skillful engravings by Godard bring this imaginative concept to life. The artwork is part of a larger collection called "Etudes de moeurs contemporaines" which was published under the direction of P. -J. Stahl (a pseudonym for Pierre-Jules Hetzel). This collection aimed to explore contemporary social customs through anthropomorphized animal characters. As we delve into this unique piece, we are transported into a world where animals take on human roles and responsibilities. It sparks our imagination and invites us to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature. Preserved in private collections, this photograph taken by A© Jean Duvallon allows us to appreciate the historical significance and artistic brilliance behind these illustrations that continue to captivate viewers even after almost two centuries since their creation.
