EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print by Charles Maurand, titled "At the Universal Exhibition: Security check at the entrance: the bald need to lift their hats, and the short-sighted need to remove their glasses, 1867, printed 1920," offers a humorous and satirical depiction of the security check process at a 19th century exhibition. The image, which was printed in the 1920s, is a testament to the enduring nature of the artist's wit and observation. The scene is set at the entrance of an exhibition, with a stern-looking security guard standing at the forefront, checking the hats and glasses of the attendees as they enter. The bald men in the crowd are shown lifting their hats to reveal their bald heads, while the short-sighted men are seen removing their glasses. The artist, Maurand, masterfully captures the essence of the scene with his intricate engraving technique, which adds depth and texture to the image. The print is a fascinating blend of the 19th and 20th centuries, with the historical setting of the exhibition juxtaposed against the modern printing technique of the time. Maurand's use of caricature and satire adds an extra layer of humor and intrigue to the image, making it a must-have for any art collection focusing on the history of graphics and illustration. This print is a product of the artistic collaboration between Maurand and Jules Meynial, who likely provided the original drawing for Maurand to engrave. The print is also a nod to the works of Honore Daumier and Francois Louis Schmied, who were known for their satirical and humorous depictions of everyday life. Overall, "At the Universal Exhibition: Security check at the entrance: the bald need to lift their hats, and the short-sighted need to remove their glasses, 1867, printed 1920" is a delightful addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past with a modern and humorous twist.
