EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating cover of "Messieurs les ronds de cuir" by Georges Courteline, beautifully depicted in this colour lithograph print from 1908, transports us back to the early 20th century. Created by Francisque Poulbot, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork captures the essence of French literature and art. Intriguingly detailed, the image showcases a group of individuals engrossed in a game. The scene is set against the backdrop of an old-world Parisian street, with its charming architecture and cobblestone roads. A musician stands at the center holding a trumpet, infusing the air with melodious notes that add to the lively atmosphere. The characters themselves are reminiscent of figures from another era - their attire reflecting late 19th-century fashion trends. Among them is a man skillfully playing bilboquet, an ancient French toy popular during that period. This enchanting artwork not only celebrates literature but also highlights human connection through games and music. It invites us to delve into Courteline's world and explore his satirical portrayal of bureaucracy and office politics within French society. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from our private collection, we are transported to a time when literature thrived alongside artistic expression. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an invitation to discover or rediscover one of Courteline's most celebrated works – "Messieurs les ronds de cuir. "
