EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving of a French satirical cartoon, Les Poires, captures the essence of 19th-century humor and social commentary. Created by C Leandre, this image showcases a scene from domestic life where an old man mischievously pinches the bottom of a maid while she converses with his wife. The caricatured characters in this illustration represent different aspects of European culture during that era. The artwork reflects the retro styling and Victorian sensibilities prevalent in the 19th century. It portrays a senior couple engaging in rude behavior towards their young female domestic staff, highlighting issues like sexual harassment and abuse that were often overlooked or dismissed at the time. Les Poires not only provides historical insights into past societal norms but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in addressing such negative emotions and social issues. This satirical cartoon challenges us to confront these uncomfortable realities while appreciating its artistic value within French culture. Through its clever use of satire, this engraved image invites viewers to reflect on power dynamics, gender roles, and the treatment of service occupations throughout history. Despite being created over a century ago, it remains relevant today as it sheds light on themes still present in contemporary society
