EDITORS COMMENTS
Au Havre - On the beach of Le Havre, a woman turns her camera towards the sea, capturing a moment that would go down in history. Beside her stands a man holding a parasol, questioning her choice of subject – an overweight man taking a dip in the sea. Unbeknownst to him, the woman reveals that it is none other than President Felix Faure himself enjoying his time in the water. This scene was beautifully captured by Jean Veber, an esteemed artist known for his caricatures and illustrations. The drawing titled 'The Laughter of 21 August 1895' showcases Veber's talent for humorously depicting everyday moments with great attention to detail. Set against the backdrop of Normandy's picturesque coastline, this print transports us back to a time when photography was still emerging as an art form. It captures not only the curiosity and fascination of onlookers but also highlights society's interest in public figures like President Faure. With its intricate engravings and elegant portrayal of characters dressed in period costumes, this artwork offers us a glimpse into late 19th-century France. It reminds us how even mundane scenes can hold historical significance and evoke laughter across generations. Displayed proudly within private collections today, Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this piece from obscurity so that we may appreciate Veber's skillful craftsmanship and relish in its timeless charm.
