EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of anticipation and discussion in Cherbourg. The image, titled "They say we're already beginning to see her!. . . -Or that? -In Cherbourg" depicts two women engrossed in conversation about an upcoming event. The engraving is a caricature by Honore Daumier from 1857, published in the French magazine "Charivari". The scene shows one woman expressing her fear while discussing the comet with another lady named Mrs. Chaffarou. They speculate whether they can already see the comet's tail or if it has grown hair yet. The humor lies in their exaggerated reactions to what seems like an ordinary occurrence. Daumier's artwork beautifully captures the essence of French society during that time period, showcasing his talent for satire and social commentary. This particular piece reflects on themes of oldness, future fears, and discussions surrounding unknown events. The print itself is expertly captured by Leonard de Selva, highlighting every intricate detail of Daumier's work. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate viewers even centuries later. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history through its artistic portrayal of everyday conversations mixed with humor and anticipation for something extraordinary happening above them – the passing comet.
