EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Cent et un Robert Macaire, 1840 (1947)" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. The artwork, created by the talented artist Honore Daumier, captures a bustling outdoor scene with several buildings as its backdrop. In this lively setting, we see a group of men engaged in animated conversation. Dressed in traditional brown attire and donning stylish hats, they exude an air of sophistication and charm. One man stands at the center, gesturing passionately with his hands while talking. His expressive hand gestures add depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. The windmill towering behind them adds a touch of rustic beauty to the composition. Its presence hints at both the rural origins of these characters and their connection to a bygone era. The text accompanying the image further immerses us into this literary world filled with deceit and trickery. Daumier's lithograph skillfully portrays one particular character known as Robert Macaire – a fictional figure synonymous with dishonesty and deception during that time period. This print is part of "The Art of French Book" edited by Andre Lejard and published by Paul Elek in London in 1947. As admirers of art history, we are captivated by this snapshot from another century that continues to resonate today through its timeless themes and masterful execution.
