EDITORS COMMENTS
Finally Alone: A Parody of 'Le Vieux Regret' by Rene Georges Hermann-Paul (circa 1901) This parody sketch, titled 'Finally Alone,' is a humorous take on the original drawing 'Le Vieux Regret' by Rene Georges Hermann-Paul, created around 1901. The original work, part of the esteemed 'Album des Maîtres de la Caricature' (Issue 15, August 1901), depicts an elderly man standing by his wife's grave, expressing a melancholic sense of loss. In this parody, the man is shown with a smirk on his face, suggesting a strange sense of satisfaction as he stands by the grave. The title 'Finally Alone' adds to the intrigue, implying that the man may have found a newfound freedom or relief from the burdens of married life. The playful twist on Hermann-Paul's poignant original adds an unexpected layer of complexity to the image, inviting viewers to ponder the true nature of the man's emotions. The parody sketch, like the original, is a beautiful example of the artistic style and wit of the 'Album des Maîtres de la Caricature,' a collection that showcased the work of some of the most influential caricaturists of the time. This print, with its intriguing narrative and clever subversion of expectations, is a must-have for any collector of historical caricatures or those with an appreciation for the nuances of human emotion.
