EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Shadow of Richelieu," dates back to circa 1901 and is an exquisite example of the masterful artistry of the Les Maîtres de la Caricature collective from the July Ferdinand Sigismond Bach issue. The illustration depicts a small, humble man, with a thoughtful expression, holding a delicate figurine of an elegant lady with an impeccable posture. His gaze is fixed on a tall man, who stands before him, looking down over his shoulder with a startled expression. The intriguing scene invites the viewer to ponder the nature of power and its impact on those who wield it. The small man, seemingly insignificant in size, holds the power to capture the essence of the lady's beauty and grace in the form of a figurine. Meanwhile, the tall man, who may represent power and authority, is momentarily taken aback by an unseen presence or influence. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the skillful use of shadow and light, adding depth and dimension to the image. The play of light on the figurine and the contrasting shadows on the men's faces create a visual tension that draws the viewer in. This work of art is a testament to the enduring power of illustration to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and transport us to another time and place. The Shadow of Richelieu is a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire, more than a century after it was first created.
