EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by the talented artist G. Ri (Victor Mousselet), transports us back to the early 20th century with its timeless charm. Featured in "Le Bon Vivant" on March 18,1900, this illustration is part of a humorous diary depicting the daily life of a family. In this particular scene, we see a philosopher contemplating his existence while lying on a simple mattress. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of poverty and simplicity through his delicate strokes. The philosopher's choice to lay on his mattress either under or inside depending on the season speaks volumes about resilience and adaptability amidst challenging circumstances. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even with limited material possessions, one can find solace and contentment within oneself. The engraving beautifully portrays the cold reality faced by many during that era in France. It offers an insightful commentary on human nature and philosophy while highlighting themes of hardship and perseverance. Stefano Bianchetti's expert preservation of this artwork allows us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into another time where art served as both entertainment and reflection for society at large.
