EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Salon de 1861, Peinture, Deux augures ne peuvent se regarder sans rire" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Roman fortune-telling. The engraving, created by the French School, showcases two augurs who cannot help but burst into laughter as they read the entrails of a chicken. The image is both amusing and thought-provoking as it highlights the comical side of an otherwise serious practice. In ancient Rome, augurs were highly respected individuals responsible for interpreting signs from the gods through various methods such as observing birds or examining animal entrails. However, this particular scene captures a lighthearted moment where even these revered tellers of fate find themselves unable to contain their amusement.

The artist behind this intriguing piece remains unknown; nevertheless, their skill in capturing not only the physicality but also the emotions of these characters is evident. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every detail and expression on their faces. It was originally featured in Le Magasin Pittoresque (1861), adding another layer of historical significance to its charm. Overall, this print invites us to reflect on how humor can transcend time and culture while reminding us that even those with great knowledge and power are not immune to moments of laughter and
