EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and satirical print titled "What do you mean these people are going to get on as well?" by Grandville, we are transported into a world where animals and humans coexist in a bustling society. Part of the Les Metamorphoses du Jour series, this coloured engraving from 1854 showcases the artist's mastery in anthropomorphism. The scene unfolds inside an omnibus, where various animal characters dressed in human attire mingle with their snobbish counterparts. A cleaner dog stands haughtily with a broom while casting disapproving glances at the working-class passengers boarding the bus. The caricatured figures include a proud goose, a pompous heron, an eloquent parrot, a mischievous monkey, and even a bullish character. Through clever puns and exaggerated features, Grandville highlights the petty behavior and bad manners prevalent within society's bourgeoisie. The use of anthropomorphic animals adds another layer of satire to his commentary on class divisions and snobbery. As we observe this print from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, it becomes evident that Grandville's artistic prowess lies not only in his intricate engravings but also in his ability to provoke thought through visual storytelling. This piece serves as both entertainment and social critique—a testament to the enduring power of political cartoons throughout history.
