EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures a whimsical scene from François Rabelais' renowned literary work, Gargantua and Pantagruel. In Book 2, Chapter XXX, we are transported to a vibrant marketplace where characters come alive. The focal point of the print is Cleopatra, an eccentric figure who stands out amidst the bustling crowd as she proudly proclaims herself a crier of onions. The artist, Jules Garnier, skillfully brings this moment to life with intricate details and rich textures. Each stroke of his engraving conveys the vibrancy and energy that permeates through Rabelais' writing. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the clamor of voices haggling over goods and catch whiffs of pungent onions in the air. Rabelais was known for his satirical and humorous approach to storytelling; he used larger-than-life characters like Cleopatra to poke fun at societal norms and conventions. This particular scene serves as a reminder that even in mundane activities such as buying vegetables at a market, there is room for laughter and absurdity. Duncan1890's reproduction allows us to appreciate not only Rabelais' imaginative narrative but also Garnier's artistic interpretation. It invites us into a world where imagination reigns supreme - one filled with colorful characters like Cleopatra who add spice to our everyday lives.
