EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Irascible English tourist, Paris, 1900" takes us back to the bustling streets of France's capital city over a century ago. Originally featured as an illustration in Le Petit Journal on 20th May 1900, this image captures the essence of an arrogant and violent English tourist during his visit to Paris. The man depicted in the print is seen gesturing with his arm raised, seemingly about to hit someone or something with his walking stick. His bad temper and rude demeanor are evident through his aggressive stance and hand gesture. Standing next to him is a young shoeshine boy, who appears startled by the tourist's behavior. The street lamp illuminates the scene, adding a touch of lighting that enhances the overall composition. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the picture while also reflecting the time period it represents. This print serves as a metaphor for cultural clashes and tensions between tourists and locals in foreign countries. It highlights not only the occupation of being a shoeshine boy but also sheds light on societal issues such as violence and arrogance. As we gaze upon this historical photograph from 1900s Paris, we are reminded of how travel experiences can vary greatly depending on one's attitude towards others and their surroundings.
