EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's humorous lithograph, "T'as tort de vouloir afficher cette grande annonce..." (You shouldn't be sticking up this big notice this month, my good man...glue won't stick in the cold!), dates back to the 19th century. This artwork, now held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France. The scene portrays a billposter, bundled up against the cold, attempting to affix a large poster to a wall. The title of the poster is revealed to be "Press - Memories from Beyond the Grave" announcing the publication of Alexandre Dumas' novel "La Reine Margot." The billposter's expression conveys frustration and resignation as he struggles with the uncooperative glue in the winter weather. Daumier, a master of caricature and satire, expertly captures the essence of the billposter's occupation, adding a touch of humor to the everyday scene. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and bold lines, showcases the artist's skillful use of the medium. Alexandre Dumas, the renowned French author, is depicted in the poster with his famous works, "La Reine Margot" and "Davy de la Pailleterie," adding an extra layer of significance to the artwork. The image of the billposter, with his brush and pile of posters, serves as a reminder of the importance of literature and the arts in spreading knowledge and entertainment. This piece, with its witty commentary on the challenges of the billposting trade and the promotion of a literary masterpiece, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, France, or the world of literature.
