EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures a scene from the Tableau de Paris series titled "Children and Nannies in the Park". Created by Fortune Delarue in 1827, this colour lithograph showcases an intriguing glimpse into bourgeois society during that era. The image depicts a group of children accompanied by their nannies enjoying a leisurely day at the park. The composition is filled with elements that evoke care, love, and responsibility. The nannies are seen attentively looking after the children while engaging in conversations with soldiers nearby. This juxtaposition highlights both the nurturing nature of these women as well as their interaction with men from different walks of life. Delarue's artistic style adds a touch of satire to this piece, presenting it as a caricature rather than a realistic portrayal. Through his clever use of cartoon-like features and exaggerated expressions, he playfully comments on various aspects of society at the time. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be drawn into its narrative. It invites us to reflect on themes such as childhood innocence, illicit lovers meeting discreetly amidst bustling surroundings, and societal dynamics within the bourgeoisie class. Overall, this print offers not only visual appeal but also prompts contemplation about human relationships and social conventions prevalent during early 19th-century France.
