Les Étrangers dévisagés par eux-mêmes,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Strangers Examining Each Other," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This intriguing work of art is part of Daumier's series "Les Etrangers à Paris" (The Strangers in Paris), which offers a humorous commentary on the contrast between provincial visitors and the urban Parisians of the time. In this particular print, two women from out-of-town stand before each other, their expressions revealing a mixture of surprise and amusement. The Lady from Carpentras, on the left, raises an eyebrow and exclaims, "It's strange... these Parisians are not as elegant as they're supposed to be!" The Lady from Quimper-Corentin, on the right, nods in agreement, adding, "It's unusual... these inhabitants of the Capital are not as coquettishly dressed as one would expect!" The women's attire further emphasizes the contrast between the provincial and the Parisian. The Lady from Carpentras wears a large, feathered bonnet and a voluminous shawl, while the Lady from Quimper-Corentin dons a more fashionable dress with a delicate shawl and a top hat. The Parisian women in the background, however, are shown in various stages of undress, revealing their undergarments, which adds to the comedic effect. This print not only offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century fashion but also serves as a satirical commentary on the expectations and misconceptions of tourists and the urban elite. The black and white medium further enhances the print's timeless appeal, making it a must-have for any art or fashion collection. This work of art, "Les Étrangers dévisagés par eux-mêmes," is a testament to Honore Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the nuances of human nature and societal norms through his satirical lens. It is a true masterpiece that continues to intrigue and delight viewers to this day.
