EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Smoker, 1856" artist Paul Gavarni transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to witness a moment of leisure and contemplation. The intricate details captured in this print showcase Gavarni's exceptional talent as an illustrator. The subject of the engraving is a man deeply engrossed in his smoking ritual. His face is shrouded in smoke, adding an air of mystery to his character. Gavarni masterfully captures the play of light and shadow on the smoker's face, highlighting every wrinkle and expression with remarkable precision. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are transported into the world of mid-19th century Parisian culture. The smoker's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era – a top hat perched jauntily on his head and a stylish coat draped over his shoulders. These subtle details provide valuable insights into societal norms and aesthetics during that period. Jaime Abecasis skillfully photographs this exquisite engraving, ensuring that every minute detail is preserved for our appreciation. Through Abecasis' lens, we can truly appreciate the artistry behind Gavarni's work. This print serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact; it allows us to delve into the past while marveling at artistic brilliance. It reminds us how art has always been an avenue for capturing moments in time – preserving them for future generations to admire and learn from.
