Le Chemin de fer de Lyon. Embarcadère
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The railway station at Lyon. Special platform for Burgundy wet-nurses), a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, dates back to 1852. This striking image, part of Daumier's "Physionomies des chemins de fer" (Physiognomies of the railways) series, was first published in the popular French satirical magazine, Le Charivari. The scene unfolds at a bustling railway station in Lyon, where a crowd of diverse characters gathers. At the center, a platform teems with Burgundy wet-nurses, their babies in tow, eagerly awaiting their departure. The women, dressed in traditional black bonnets and long, flowing skirts, are a stark contrast to the men in their contemporary attire. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of the railway era, as well as the societal norms of the time. The wet-nurses, who traveled long distances to provide their services to the upper classes, are depicted in a humorous yet sympathetic light. The satirical tone is further emphasized by the exaggerated expressions and gestures of the other passengers, adding to the overall amusement of the piece. This black and white lithograph, a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the 19th century, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection. It continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing blend of social commentary, satire, and visual storytelling. Honore Daumier's "Le Chemin de fer de Lyon. Embarcadère" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolving world of transportation, fashion, and family dynamics during the 1800s.
