EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Is that how you watched the stew?" is a captivating turn-of-the-century French caricature that showcases an intense moment between a woman of refinement and an anxious waiter. The illustration, dating back to circa 1901, is an exquisite addition to any collection of historical art and social commentary. The woman in the illustration is depicted wearing an elaborate hat, her shoulders thrust forward in a fit of rage. Her expression is one of disdain and frustration, as she scrutinizes the quivering waiter before her. The waiter, with a terrified look on his face, spills the plates of steaming stew in front of her, seemingly unable to keep up with her high standards. This image is a testament to the societal expectations and power dynamics of the time. Women of the upper class were known for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to criticize the smallest of imperfections. The waiter, in this instance, is a symbol of the servile class, expected to cater to their every need, no matter how unreasonable. The illustration is a masterpiece from the "March of the Women" collection, created by Ferdinand Sigismond Bach. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on gender roles, social norms, and the power dynamics of the time. The intricate details of the woman's hat and the waiter's uniform, as well as the expression on their faces, add depth and complexity to the scene, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast. In conclusion, this illustration from the "March of the Women" collection is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the societal expectations and power dynamics of the early 20th century. The intense moment between the woman and the waiter, captured in intricate detail, is a testament to the power of art to preserve history and provoke thought.
