EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a fascinating scene from the past, showcasing travelling entertainers paying their way into Paris with an enchanting performance by their talented monkey. Created as a colour lithograph by Ferdinand Raffin in the late 19th or early 20th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that era. Intriguingly set against the backdrop of medieval France, we see men and women dressed in elaborate costumes, exuding a sense of amusement and wonder. The acrobats showcase their skills while an array of animals accompany them on this journey. The central focus is undoubtedly on the clever monkey who steals the show with its entertaining antics. As they pay their entry fee to enter Paris, these travelling performers captivate both locals and visitors alike. The image beautifully captures the excitement and joy that such performances brought to people's lives during that time. It also serves as a reminder of how entertainment has evolved over centuries. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; from the expressions on each character's face to the intricate outfits they wear, every element adds depth to this lively scene. This piece not only celebrates French culture but also highlights our fascination with wildlife and our enduring love for live performances. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this delightful print continues to charm viewers today just as it did when it was first published in Le Petit Francais Illustre back in October 1900.
