EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Two Hunchbacks" created in 1893 by Auguste Louis Lepere, we are transported to the streets of Paris. The artist's attention to detail and masterful technique bring these two intriguing figures to life. The composition centers around two hunchbacked individuals, their bent postures mirroring one another as they walk side by side. Their physical deformities become a poignant symbol of the burdens they carry in life, perhaps representing the weight of societal expectations or personal struggles. Lepere's use of etching creates a rich texture that adds depth and dimension to the scene. The delicate lines and intricate cross-hatching reveal his meticulous craftsmanship, capturing every nuance with precision. Set against a backdrop of bustling city streets, we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and distant chatter. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the mood, evoking a sense of melancholy yet resilience. This print from Edward Sagot's collection offers us an intimate glimpse into late 19th-century Parisian society through Lepere's artistic lens. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in those who may be considered different or marginalized by society. As we contemplate this thought-provoking artwork, let it inspire us to embrace empathy and understanding for others' unique journeys while appreciating artistry that transcends time.
