EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving, titled 'Le Bon Genre' by Pierre de la Mesangere, depicts an organ grinder and his faithful poodle putting on a mesmerizing performance for a delightful audience of fashionable women in Paris, France, in 1817. The organ grinder, dressed in traditional street attire, skillfully plays the organ, while his small companion, a poodle with a spinning top or 'yarn top,' adds an entertaining twist to the show. The poodle, with its elegant, curled coat and expressive eyes, captures the hearts of the ladies, who are adorned in extravagant hats with plumes, shawls, and intricately designed lace dresses. A child, dressed in a simple frock, watches in awe, taking in the enchanting scene. The organ grinder's organ, with its intricate details and ornate designs, adds to the overall charm of the image. The spinning top, made of thread, creates a mesmerizing effect as it spins, adding an element of surprise and delight to the performance. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of simple pleasures and captivating street performances.
