EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "The End of the Gastronomes" by Philibert Louis Debucourt, takes us back to 18th-century France. The artwork, housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, offers a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on society's obsession with food and excess. In this satirical scene, we witness a group of gluttonous gastronomes indulging in an extravagant feast.

Debucourt masterfully captures the consequences of such excessive behavior. Some men clutch their stomachs in agony while others suffer from indigestion or even diarrhea.

As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder that moderation is key when it
