EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Illustration for La Vie De Londres by Mars" takes us back to the naughty and humorous atmosphere of late 19th-century London. Created by Maurice Charles Mathieu Bonvoisin, known as Mars, this print showcases his talent for caricature and wit. The scene unfolds in the bustling streets of the West End on a Sunday afternoon. A man with a mischievous grin is seen dancing an amusing pas de deux with an arm that seems to have a life of its own. The streets are filled with laughter as onlookers are entertained by this unexpected spectacle. In true British fashion, horse-drawn cabs and omnibuses pass by in the background while lively music hall dancers twirl around in their skirts. This comical portrayal captures both the vibrancy and eccentricity of London's entertainment scene during this era. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout, from the expressive faces of the characters to the intricate engravings depicting various animals like racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions. These whimsical additions add another layer of charm to an already delightful composition. As we gaze upon this illustration from over a century ago, we can't help but be transported back in time to experience firsthand the energy and humor that defined London's cultural landscape during what was famously known as "the naughty nineties.
