EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the world of Honore de Balzac's renowned novel, "Le Pere Goriot". The image depicts the iconic Vauquer Boarding House, a central setting in the story that holds countless tales of love, sacrifice, and ambition. As we gaze upon this engraving by Albert Lynch, we are transported into the heart of 19th-century Paris. The dining room is beautifully captured with its long table adorned with a crisp tablecloth and an array of glasses ready to be filled with wine. We can almost imagine the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air as lodgers gather for their daily meal. The characters come alive within these walls - Father Goriot, who selflessly gave up everything for his daughters; Eugene Rastignac, a poor yet ambitious young man seeking success; Madame Vauquer herself running this establishment with both kindness and strictness. It is here that filial love intertwines with personal aspirations. Through this evocative illustration from "Le Pere Goriot" we catch a glimpse into Balzac's intricate narrative web. It reminds us that even amidst poverty and struggle, acts of kindness can still flourish. This image serves as a testament to the power of literature to transport us across time and space while reminding us of our shared humanity.
