EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un malin" showcases a brilliant piece of colour lithography by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Le Pele-Mele on March 6,1904. In this comical and satirical scene, we are transported to the bustling streets of France where a knife grinder has ingeniously improvised his sharpening technique. With great humour and wit, the cartoonish man can be seen effortlessly grinding away at his wheel while simultaneously riding on a bus filled with unsuspecting passengers. The image perfectly captures the essence of French culture through its amusing caricature and clever satire. It highlights not only the resourcefulness and improvisation often associated with the French people but also their ability to find humor in everyday situations. As we delve into this whimsical world of public transport and road antics, it becomes evident that this satirical drawing serves as both entertainment and social commentary. Through its scathing satire, it subtly critiques various aspects of transportation in France while showcasing the artist's talent for creating funny yet thought-provoking images. Overall, this delightful print offers viewers a glimpse into European life at the turn of the century while reminding us that even in mundane moments like commuting on a bus, there is always room for laughter and amusement.
