EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a cartoon from the series "The Beautiful Days of Life" by Honore Daumier, depicting a scene related to divorces. The engraving, titled "A request for separation. . . ", was originally published in the newspaper "Le Charivari" on January 29,1845. Measuring 37x25cm and housed in box 8 NAa40 at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille's Palais Longchamps, this artwork is part of the Collection Arts Graphic. Daumier's caricature humorously portrays a divorce proceeding with various characters involved. The judge presides over the case while a lawyer represents one party seeking separation. The image reflects societal attitudes towards divorce during that period in France. Jean Bernard, who captured this photograph, showcases his skills as an artist by beautifully presenting this historical artwork. His attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate Daumier's intricate engravings and their significance within French society. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Daumier's work but also highlights its importance as an artistic commentary on human relationships and social norms surrounding divorce. It offers insight into how artists like Daumier used satire and wit to shed light on contemporary issues during the 19th century. Overall, this image provides us with a glimpse into both art history and cultural perspectives on marriage dissolution during that era.
