EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate 74.3 Parisian Types" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Paris. The image, originally featured in Charivari magazine, showcases a satirical scene created by the talented artist Honore Daumier. In this particular frame, we are introduced to a character who exudes an air of snobbery and self-importance. With his prominent nose and exaggerated features, he confidently proclaims, "I can tell you are of noble birth. . . I have the eye for it". Despite his blindfolded eyes and walking cane with an eye patch on top, he seems convinced that his discerning judgment is infallible. Daumier's masterful lithography technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of this comical figure. From the delicate lines etched into the engraving to the subtle shading that adds depth to each element, one cannot help but appreciate the artist's skillful execution. Displayed at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, this print offers a glimpse into both historical satire and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, humor remains timeless while shedding light on societal issues such as snobbery and class distinction. With its clever play on visual puns and sharp social commentary, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its wit and charm.
