EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and thought-provoking illustrations of ideas and legends by Philipon, presented under the title Les Cent. Created in 1839 by the talented artist Honore Daumier, this engraving offers a glimpse into a world where large drawings are reduced but still manage to convey their profound message. Accompanied by a comic and narrative penned by journalists Maurice Alhoy and Louis Huart, these illustrations take on a life of their own. The character of Robert Macaire, portrayed as an avatar of Don Quixote and Gil Blas, takes center stage alongside his naive companion Bertrand. Through their multifaceted roles, they embody various facets of human nature. Daumier's skillful depiction captures the essence of each character with remarkable detail and precision. From Macaire's cunning demeanor to Bertrand's innocence, every line tells a story that unfolds before our eyes. As we delve deeper into this visual tapestry, we are transported back to the 19th century French society that inspired these creations. With references to historical figures such as Philipon himself intertwined within the narrative, these illustrations become more than just art; they become windows into a rich cultural heritage. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Daumier's genius while immersing ourselves in an era where art merged seamlessly with storytelling. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, great works like Les Cent continue to captivate audiences with their timeless appeal.
