EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Old Bachelor from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France.

In this scene, we witness an aged gentleman surrounded by books in a cozy study. His face reveals a mix of wisdom and melancholy as he contemplates his solitary existence as an old bachelor. The intricate details in the engraving bring out the textures of his wrinkled skin and tousled hair, adding depth to his character. The print is part of a larger collection known as "The Complete Works of Beranger" showcasing the works of Pierre Jean de Beranger, one of France's most celebrated poets during that era. This particular illustration perfectly encapsulates themes often explored in Beranger's poetry - love lost, longing for companionship, and reflections on life's fleeting nature.
