EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "L'Emile" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a renowned philosopher and writer of the 18th century. Published in 1851, this engraving beautifully captures a scene depicting a male and female couple visiting an elegant society setting. The image exudes sophistication and charm as they bow gracefully to their hosts. "L'Emile" is both a pedagogical novel and philosophical treatise that narrates the education of a young boy under the guidance of a wise tutor, from infancy to adulthood. First published in 1762, it explores various aspects of life including love, marriage, sexuality, morality, fashion, and societal norms. The intricate details within this artwork transport us back to an era where enlightenment was highly valued. It offers us glimpses into the refined world of the upper class during that time period. The composition skillfully portrays not only the social dynamics but also highlights the importance placed on education for personal growth. As we admire this stunning piece captured by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal after Gustave's original work, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide insight into historical periods long gone. This particular engraving has been preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris since its creation.
