EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases a cartoon of a lawyer dressed in an impressive outfit, titled "Gare, que je passe" (Beware, I pass). Created by the talented artist Edme Jean Pigal (1798-1872), this artwork is now part of a private collection. The cartoon humorously captures the essence of a lawyer's profession during that era. The lawyer is depicted wearing an elaborate and distinguished attire, symbolizing his status and authority within the legal system. With intricate details and skillful engraving techniques, Pigal brings to life this satirical portrayal. The title "Gare, que je passe" adds another layer of intrigue to the image. It translates to "Beware, I pass" suggesting that lawyers possess significant power and influence as they navigate through legal proceedings. This phrase may also allude to their ability to manipulate or outmaneuver others in courtrooms. Leonard de Selva has expertly preserved this remarkable piece of art for future generations to appreciate. Through this print, viewers can explore not only the fashion trends prevalent in the 19th century but also gain insight into society's perception of lawyers at that time. As we admire this caricatured representation filled with haughtiness and capital sins associated with lawyers' trade, it serves as a reminder of how historical artworks continue to captivate our imagination while shedding light on past cultures and professions like never before.
