EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century depicts a scene of men engrossed in the study of character through handwriting, known as graphology. The French School artwork showcases individuals wearing distinguished hats, immersed in deep contemplation as they analyze various handwritten samples. This historical image offers a glimpse into the pseudoscientific practice that was prevalent during this era. The illustration highlights an intriguing aspect of graphology - writing bars across the page indicating a deceitful personality. It reflects how handwriting analysis was believed to reveal hidden traits and qualities of an individual's character. The attention to detail in this piece is evident, capturing both the seriousness and curiosity with which these men approach their study. Beyond its artistic value, this print also provides insight into the psychology and cultural history of France during that time period. Additionally, it subtly references Chocolat Revillon, a renowned sweet shop famous for its milk chocolates and candies – perhaps suggesting that even indulging in such treats could provide clues about one's personality. Overall, this fine art print serves as a visual representation of an intriguing chapter in history when graphology held sway over those seeking to understand human nature through handwriting analysis.
