EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bacteriologie" is a colourful lithograph created by Benjamin Rabier in 1901. It was originally published as an illustration for Le Pele-Mele, a French satirical magazine on November 24th of the same year. The artwork, now part of a private collection, showcases Rabier's unique blend of humour and satire. In this comical piece, Rabier cleverly combines elements of biology and medicine to create an amusing scene. The cartoon-like portrayal depicts various germs and bacteria with humorous facial expressions and exaggerated features. This playful approach adds an entertaining twist to the otherwise serious subject matter. The artist's mastery in capturing both the essence of caricature and the intricacies of microbiology shines through in this portrait. Through his satirical drawing, Rabier offers scathing commentary on medical practices during that era while also showcasing his wit and talent. "Bacteriologie" not only serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural history but also highlights its contributions to medical science. Asclepius, the Greek god associated with healing, is referenced in this artwork, further emphasizing its connection to healthcare. Overall, this delightful lithograph provides viewers with a glimpse into early 20th-century French culture while simultaneously offering light-hearted entertainment. Its vibrant colours and clever composition make it a valuable addition to any art collection or enthusiast's repertoire.
