EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment of unlikely camaraderie between the notorious robber Cartouche and the esteemed Marshal of Boufflers in 19th century France. The scene depicts Cartouche, also known as Louis Dominique Garthausen, dining with the marshal in what appears to be a private setting illuminated by candlelight. Despite their starkly different backgrounds and social statuses, the two men are shown sharing a meal together, suggesting a sense of mutual respect or perhaps even an unexpected friendship. The details in the engraving - from the bottles on the table to the pyjamas worn by both figures - offer a glimpse into their intimate encounter within the confines of a cozy bedroom. Cartouche's reputation as a bandit adds an element of intrigue to this image, as his presence alongside such a prominent figure like Marshal Boufflers raises questions about their relationship and shared history. This print from "Famous Causes" provides viewers with a rare glimpse into this historical moment, allowing us to imagine what conversations or agreements may have transpired over that fateful dinner. Overall, this engraving serves as a reminder that human connections can transcend societal boundaries and expectations, offering us insight into complex relationships that defy easy categorization.
