EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Honore Daumier's iconic cartoon series on Justice, titled "Gens de Justice". Taken from the renowned publication "Charivari" in 1846, this particular piece is called "When crime does not give". The image showcases a group of individuals engaged in a card game, symbolizing the intricate workings of the justice system. Daumier's masterful caricature portrays a businessman with an expression of deep sadness. This evocative portrayal highlights the human aspect within legal proceedings and emphasizes the gravity of their consequences. The artist skillfully weaves together elements such as judgment, discussion, and French society to create a thought-provoking narrative. The engraving beautifully captures Daumier's unique style and attention to detail. Each character is meticulously depicted, showcasing their distinct personalities and roles within the judicial system. The inclusion of pansies adds symbolic depth to the composition, representing fragility or delicate situations that often arise in matters of law. Leonard de Selva expertly photographs this timeless artwork from his private collection, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As viewers delve into this mesmerizing print, they are transported back to 19th-century France where Daumier's satirical commentary on justice continues to resonate today.
