EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "Les chemins de fer" by Daumier, originally published in the satirical newspaper "Charivari" on July 20th, 1855. Daumier, a renowned French artist of the 19th century, masterfully captures both the pace and humor of railway travel during that era. In this caricature, Daumier skillfully depicts a crowded train compartment filled with diverse characters. The exaggerated expressions and body language convey a sense of chaos and amusement as passengers jostle for space within the limited confines of the carriage. It is evident that public transport was not without its challenges even back then! Daumier's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure seems to tell its own story. From weary travelers clutching their belongings tightly to businessmen engrossed in their newspapers, each person adds depth to this humorous portrayal of railway life. The composition exudes movement and energy through dynamic lines and bold shading techniques. This drawing serves as a testament to Daumier's artistic prowess in capturing everyday scenes with wit and charm. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this timeless piece from his private collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the comical realities of early public transportation systems - an enduring reminder that some things never change!
