EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore transports us back to 17th century Paris, specifically to the hotel on Rue Dauphine near Porte Dauphine. In this scene from Theophile Gautier's novel "Le capitaine Fracasse," we see three drunkards indulging in their libations with abandon. The intricate details and expressive faces captured by Dore bring this moment of revelry to life, showcasing the allure and danger of excessive drinking. The setting is rich with historical charm, depicting a time when alcohol flowed freely and social norms were more relaxed. As we gaze upon these figures lost in their intoxication, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of escapism through drink. Gautier's tale unfolds against the backdrop of Parisian society, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who sought refuge in wine and spirits. The hotel itself becomes a character in this narrative, bearing witness to countless nights of excess and camaraderie. Through Dore's masterful handiwork, we are invited to ponder the complexities of human nature and our eternal quest for pleasure. This print serves as a poignant reminder that while alcohol may provide temporary solace, it can also lead to ruin if not consumed in moderation.
