EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of yesteryears with this enchanting illustration of an Animated Desk Lamp from the February 1901 issue of Les Maîtres de la Caricature, a renowned French satirical magazine. This strange yet captivating depiction of a desk lamp is unlike any other, featuring a decorative shade atop a stooping figure with elongated, gangly legs. The lamp seems to have come straight out of a 1901 version of Pixar's animated films! The intricate details in this illustration are truly mesmerizing. The lamp's body is adorned with intricate patterns and ornate designs, while its long, spindly legs appear to be in a state of perpetual bend, as if ready to embrace the desk surface below. The decorative shade, with its delicate filigree and elegant curves, adds an air of sophistication to this otherwise peculiar creation. This illustration, from the esteemed March of the Women Collection available on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and creativity of the early 20th century. It invites us to ponder the imaginative minds that brought such a peculiar yet delightful vision to life.
