EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's 'Actionnaires Californiens' (Californian Shareholders), created in 1850, captures the excitement and fervor surrounding the California Gold Rush and the allure of investing in American businesses from a European perspective. The hand-tinted lithograph depicts two men engaged in a lively conversation, each expressing their confidence in different California-based companies. The first man, dressed in a top hat and holding a cane, proudly boasts about his recent investment in the Societe des Jaunets Californiens, believing he has made a wise decision with the potential for significant returns. The manager, shown in the background, shares in his optimism. The second man, dressed in a suit and holding a stack of papers, passionately advocates for the Golden Carrot company, having already invested all his money there. The title "Actualites" (News) at the bottom of the print suggests that this conversation is taking place in the context of the latest news and financial developments in California. Daumier, a renowned French satirical artist, masterfully employs humor and parody to convey the investment craze that swept through Europe during the California Gold Rush. The use of hand coloring adds vibrancy and depth to the print, enhancing the overall visual appeal. This piece is a testament to the enduring fascination with the stock market and the human desire for financial success.
