EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of punishment from the late 19th century, depicted in an advertising chromolithography. In the image, a mischievous little girl, armed with a swifter, can be seen laughing at the bust of a child wearing a donkey cap. The juxtaposition of innocence and mockery is striking, as the girl's gleeful expression contrasts sharply with the humiliation being inflicted upon the figure in front of her.
The lithograph was created by J. Minot et Cie, editors based in Paris, showcasing their skillful use of color and detail to convey this poignant moment. The dimensions of the print are 11.5 x 8 cm, allowing for close examination of every intricate element within the composition.
This artwork serves as a reminder of societal attitudes towards discipline and punishment during that era, highlighting how children were often subjected to public ridicule as a form of correction. Despite its somber undertones, there is also an undeniable charm to this piece - perhaps due to its whimsical nature or the innocence captured in the young girl's laughter.
Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history through artistry and storytelling, inviting contemplation on themes such as childhood innocence and societal norms surrounding behavior and consequences.
