EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we see a lady bidding farewell to a gentleman in a parlour. As she sweetly says "Bon voyage, and hurry back!" her true thoughts are revealed as she thinks "Good riddance!" The scene captures the complexities of social interactions and the facade that people often put on in polite society.
The illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, brought to life by the Gihaut brothers, is part of a series titled Petites Scenes du Monde, Ce que que on dit et ce que que on think. It offers a humorous insight into the language of gestures and words in 19th century France.
The lady's fashionable attire and elegant demeanor contrast with the dandy gentleman's presence in the room. The detailed interior setting adds depth to the narrative, showcasing elements of bourgeois life during this period.
As we observe this comical exchange between the two characters, we are reminded of the intricacies of human relationships and communication. The juxtaposition between what is said aloud and what is truly felt highlights the nuances of social etiquette.
This print serves as both an amusing depiction of everyday life in Parisian society and a reflection on human nature itself. It invites us to consider our own interactions and hidden thoughts when bidding adieu to others.
