EDITORS COMMENTS
Monsieur de Blowitz: The Plump Parisian Correspondent of The Times This caricature depicts Henri Georges Stephane Adolphe Opper de Blowitz, a renowned Paris correspondent for The Times and a bohemian journalist of the late Victorian era. The image, created in 1893, captures the essence of Opper de Blowitz's character with a witty and humorous touch. Opper de Blowitz, born in 1825, was a prolific and influential figure in the world of journalism during the 1890s. His plump and jovial appearance is vividly portrayed in this caricature, with an exaggerated face, rosy cheeks, and a double chin that seems to swallow the collar of his shirt. His round spectacles perch precariously on the bridge of his nose, adding to the comical effect. Despite his rotund figure, Opper de Blowitz was a man of great intellect and wit. He was known for his insightful reports from Paris, which were widely read in Britain and beyond. His writing style was characterized by his sharp observations, biting satire, and a keen sense of humor. As a bohemian journalist, Opper de Blowitz was a regular figure in the Parisian literary and artistic scene. He was known to mingle with the city's most famous artists, writers, and intellectuals, and his reports often reflected the vibrant cultural life of the city. This caricature is a testament to Opper de Blowitz's enduring legacy as a journalist and a symbol of the late Victorian era. It captures the essence of a man who lived and breathed the spirit of Paris, and who brought its stories to life for readers around the world.
