EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to 1857, immersing ourselves in the world of Honore Daumier's cartoon titled "Do you see the comet? up. . . at the end of my finger. . . don't lose sight of my finger!". The artwork originally appeared in "Charivari" and now resides in a private collection. The scene depicts a bustling French street, filled with businessmen engaged in animated discussion. Amidst the chaos, one man stands out as he points his finger towards the sky, urging those around him not to lose sight of it. His expression reveals a mix of excitement and fear as he tries to draw attention to something extraordinary - a comet. Daumier's engraving skillfully captures both human curiosity and apprehension. It offers us a glimpse into the bourgeois society of 19th century France, where even amidst daily routines and discussions about business matters, people were still captivated by celestial wonders. Leonard de Selva beautifully photographs this historical piece without losing any detail or emotion conveyed by Daumier's original work. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate both the artistry behind Daumier's cartoon and its relevance even after centuries have passed. This image serves as a reminder that no matter how engrossed we may be in our own lives or conversations, there is always something greater happening around us if only we take a moment to look up and not lose sight of what truly matters
