EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous 19th-century lithograph captures a street scene filled with amusing and inconvenient situations. The print showcases a row of closed shops, accompanied by the unfortunate closure of a public toilet. The French School artist behind this satirical cartoon perfectly illustrates the annoyance and embarrassment experienced by both men and women in such circumstances. The image depicts various signs indicating Sunday closing, adding to the frustration felt by passersby. A young boy is seen resting on a rubbish bin, while dogs roam freely in the deserted street. A horse-drawn carriage known as a post chaise passes by, highlighting the town's quiet atmosphere. The artwork cleverly combines elements of sabattarianism and social commentary, emphasizing the inconveniences faced due to limited services on Sundays. The presence of racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions adds an element of liveliness to an otherwise empty setting. Children are also featured in this satirical drawing; their innocent expressions reflect their confusion amidst these unusual circumstances. This light-hearted portrayal serves as scathing satire towards societal norms while providing entertainment for viewers. Overall, this charming print from Bridgeman Images captures not only the essence of French culture but also evokes amusement through its witty depiction of everyday life occurrences.
