EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1828, immersing us in the world of "Administrative mores" by Henri Monnier. The image depicts a scene filled with bustling activity, where individuals are engrossed in their daily routines within a bureaucratic setting. In this snapshot of time, we witness ten hours unfolding before our eyes. People can be seen absorbed in reading newspapers, perhaps catching up on the latest news or staying informed about current affairs. Lunch breaks provide moments of respite as individuals gather around tables to enjoy their midday meals. The attention to detail is remarkable as even the smallest elements are captured with precision. Feathers, known for their delicate nature and symbolic significance, make an appearance here - reminding us that amidst the mundane tasks of administrative work, there is room for creativity and imagination. Henri Monnier's caricature style shines through in this artwork. Through exaggerated features and expressions, he humorously portrays the quirks and idiosyncrasies often associated with bureaucracy and administration. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time - witnessing a slice of life from nearly two centuries ago. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation; it allows us to reflect on how much has changed while also recognizing enduring themes that continue to resonate today: reading habits, bureaucracy's influence
