Ainsi donc, mon ami à vingt-deux ans vous aviez déjà tué trois hommes...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Therefore, my friend, at twenty-two years old you had already killed three men...) is a thought-provoking and satirical lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This image, titled "Les Philantropes du jour" (The Philanthropists of the Day), showcases two men engaged in a conversation, each wearing distinctive attire of the 19th century. The first man, dressed in a top hat and a long coat, boasts about his powerful nature and society's failure to guide him better, implying that he had killed three men by the age of twenty-two. The second man, wearing a middle-class outfit and clogs, sympathizes with the first man, acknowledging that the police have wronged him and led him to his current situation - presumably, in a prison or a penitentiary. The black and white, high-contrast image is a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to comment on the societal issues of his time. The conversation between the two men is a satirical commentary on the criminal justice system and the middle and upper classes' perception of the working class and criminal elements in society. The image also highlights the fashion trends of the 19th century, with the men's clothing and footwear serving as a visual representation of their social class. This print is a valuable addition to any art or history collection, offering a glimpse into the societal issues and fashion trends of the 19th century. The image's satirical and thought-provoking nature continues to resonate with viewers, making it a must-have for anyone interested in art, history, and social commentary.
