EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wins him, kid" showcases an engraving from the renowned collection "Caricatures-Singeries". Created in the second half of the 19th century by French School artists, this piece is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and wit. The print measures 41.5x27.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The image depicts an anthropomorphic scene where a monkey dressed in elaborate costume engages in street trade as a craftsman. With its arm raised high, holding a sabre-like instrument, the monkey appears to be mocking poverty and labor through derision and humor. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the skillful technique employed by Pellerin et Cie, who were patented suppliers to S. M. L Imperatrice during that era. The composition cleverly combines elements of animal characteristics with human attributes, creating a laughable yet thought-provoking visual narrative. Through this satirical portrayal, the artist reminds us of societal inequalities prevalent at that time while also showcasing their mastery over engraving techniques. This remarkable piece serves as both entertainment and commentary on French society during the late 19th century. Captured beautifully by photographer Jean Duvallon, this print preserves not only the artistic value but also historical significance for art enthusiasts today.
