EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of gender equality in the 19th century, as depicted by French satirist Honore Daumier. Titled "Equality of the sexes: Les Bas Bleus" this artwork showcases a scene where a woman bids farewell to her husband, expressing her intention to visit publishers and possibly return home late. In this humorous cartoon, Daumier humorously highlights the emerging French women's liberation movement known as Les Bas Bleus or bluestockings. Published in 1956 as part of Ideas, a volume exploring various historical origins, this print sheds light on societal roles and expectations during that era. The image portrays role reversal with the wife leaving for work while instructing her husband to care for their baby Dodore. This satirical portrayal challenges traditional gender norms and emphasizes female empowerment. Daumier's caricature artistry is evident through his clever use of color and clothing choices. The woman wears an elegant hat and bonnet symbolizing sophistication, while her husband dons more casual attire associated with domesticity. Through this visual commentary on marriage dynamics and family life, Daumier subtly critiques societal conventions surrounding gender roles. The significance of sexual equality conveyed in this artwork resonates even today, reminding us that progress towards gender parity has been ongoing throughout history. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector11, we are reminded of Honore Daumier's contribution to feminism and his ability to provoke thought through satire.
