EDITORS COMMENTS
"Honore Daumier's Vue plan coupe et élévation des nouveaux omnibus du boulevard, 1853, captures the essence of 19th century transportation in a humorous and satirical light. In this lithograph, Daumier presents the plan, section, and elevation of the new omnibuses on the boulevard. The note below the image reads, "These new vehicles have received the highest approbation of the pole-vaulter, the fly-man [human fly?], the intrepid Thevelin and other distinguished Gymnasiarchs." The image showcases a crowded omnibus, with passengers dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, some wearing top hats. The bus itself appears to be an improvement from previous models, with a more streamlined design and a horse pulling it. However, the overcrowding is evident, with passengers standing and holding onto each other for support. Daumier's use of satire is evident in the title of the Gymnasiarchs, a reference to an ancient Greek organization responsible for overseeing athletic competitions. The implication being that these distinguished men have approved of the new omnibus, despite its continued overcrowding issues. This lithograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, transportation, and humor of the 19th century. The black and white image, with its intricate detail and sharp lines, is a testament to Daumier's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of his subject matter in a humorous and satirical way."
