EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's 10 heures du matin, 1839, also known as "Singles' Day" or "The Bachelor's Hour," is a captivating caricature that offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the daily routine of a bachelor in 19th century France. In this black and white lithograph in black on wove paper, Daumier masterfully captures the scene of a man, dressed in a simple grey suit and a bowler hat, intently gazing into a looking glass. The reflection in the mirror reveals a disheveled figure with unkempt hair and a scruffy beard, a stark contrast to the neatly dressed man before us. The presence of a dog at the man's feet adds to the sense of isolation and solitude, emphasizing the bachelor's singular existence. The man's attire, complete with a cane and a fashionable overcoat draped over the back of a chair, suggests a certain level of sophistication and refinement, despite his unkempt appearance. The use of lettering in the bottom left corner of the print, which reads "Le Matin," further underscores the idea of the passage of time and the daily rituals of life. Daumier's masterful use of crayon lithography creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life and inviting the viewer to ponder the joys and challenges of bachelorhood in the 19th century. This historic work of art, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France, continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to entertain, provoke thought, and inspire.
