EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Une soiree a la mode - in 'Esquisses parisiennes' by Henri Monnier" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Paris in 1827. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, showcases an intriguing scene filled with luxury, laughter, and a touch of bourgeois charm. In this lively engraving turned caricature, we witness a group of elegantly dressed men and women engrossed in a card game. Their faces are animated with excitement as they playfully compete against each other. The atmosphere is one of indulgence and sophistication; it exudes the essence of high society gatherings during that era. Henri Monnier's artistic talent shines through his portrayal of these characters. He masterfully captures their expressions and body language, revealing their personalities and social status. Through his work, he invites us to step into this world where mondanity reigns supreme. Delpech's publishing house played its part by bringing Monnier's vision to life on paper. This particular piece was featured in "Esquisses parisiennes" further cementing its place among the iconic works from that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era defined by opulence and leisurely pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought entertainment and camaraderie through games – just like we do today.
