EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "Progres" captures the essence of early 20th-century French humor and innovation. Created by Benjamin Rabier in 1906, this colorful lithograph was originally published as an illustration for Le Pele-Mele magazine. The image showcases a delightful scene filled with elements of progress, balance, and amusement. In the foreground, a young child confidently rides a bicycle equipped with stabilizers, symbolizing the introduction of new technology to aid learning and development. Balloons float above them, adding a touch of lightheartedness to the composition. In the background, we see a comical depiction of early automobile transportation. A satirical commentary on society's fascination with cars is cleverly woven into this artwork. The artist playfully juxtaposes traditional means of transport like bicycles with emerging modes such as automobiles. Rabier's skillful use of satire creates an entertaining narrative that reflects both societal changes and timeless childhood experiences. This piece not only captures the spirit of French culture but also highlights universal themes such as growth, exploration, and humor. With its charming characters and lively colors, this print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to step back in time while contemplating how progress has shaped our lives today. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there is always room for laughter and joy in our journey forward.
