EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of laughter and amusement in the bustling world exhibition of 1855. The illustration, created by the talented Honore Daumier, showcases a new invention that has caught the attention of Parisian society - the turnstile. However, what makes this machine truly unique is its unexpected creator: crinoline petticoats. Daumier's caricature depicts a woman dressed in an elaborate costume with her crinoline petticoats transformed into a mechanical contraption. This laughable creation highlights the rivalry and advancement present during this era of modernity. As visitors pass through the turnstile, they are greeted with both awe and hilarity at this ingenious invention. The Universal Exhibition serves as a platform for nations to showcase their technological achievements, but it seems that even fashion can play a part in innovation. Daumier's artwork perfectly captures the spirit of this eventful time in French history. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings out every intricate detail of Daumier's engraving, allowing us to appreciate not only the humor but also the artistic mastery behind it. This print transports us back to 1855 Paris, where creativity knows no bounds and surprises await at every corner. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by historical moments frozen in time, this image is sure to spark joy and curiosity within you.
