EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of the novel "Le negre Leonard et maitre Jean Mullin" written by Pierre Mac Orlan in 1920. The stunning illustration, created by Chas Laborde (Charles Laborde) between 1886 and 1941, beautifully captures the essence of this literary masterpiece. The image depicts a colorfully detailed engraving that immediately draws the viewer's attention. It portrays a bondman, representing themes of enslavement and domestic servitude prevalent in the story. The black figure is surrounded by an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting readers to delve into the narrative. Laborde's artistic style effortlessly combines elements of realism with a touch of surrealism. His skillful use of shading and composition adds depth to the illustration, making it visually striking and thought-provoking. The cover design also hints at social commentary on class dynamics during early twentieth-century France. The presence of bourgeois elements suggests a critique on societal norms and expectations within that era. Overall, this print serves as both an homage to Mac Orlan's literary work and an appreciation for Laborde's exceptional talent as an illustrator. It transports viewers back to a time when literature was not only meant to entertain but also challenge prevailing ideologies.
