The Clerk Boniface - A Satirical Glimpse into 18th Century Employment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Clerk Boniface" an engraving by Joseph Franz von Goez, depicting a character from the 18th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally featured in the book "Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten" by Georg Hirth. In this satirical drawing, we see a man dressed in traditional French attire, complete with a tricorne hat. He is portrayed as a clerk holding a letter or document, representing his occupation. The cartoon-like style adds humor and caricature to the scene. The artwork offers us insight into historical employment practices and professions during that era. It provides an amusing commentary on the roles and responsibilities of clerks at that time. This satirical cartoon not only reflects German culture but also highlights the cultural exchange between Germany and France during this period. With its digitally cleaned image quality, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of von Goez's work. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments in history while simultaneously entertaining viewers with its wit and charm. Overall, "The Clerk Boniface" is an intriguing piece that transports us back to 18th-century Europe through its clever satire and unique depiction of characters from different cultures.
