EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Elephant De La Bastille" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Paris. The image, a colour lithograph by Albert Robida, showcases his unique blend of satire and humor that made him one of the most celebrated artists of his time. In this whimsical scene, we see a young girl playfully interacting with an enormous elephant-shaped contraption known as "L Elephant De La Bastille". This satirical invention was created for Le XIXe Siecle magazine in 1888 and serves as a commentary on French culture and fashion during that era. The girl's wide-eyed expression reflects her awe at this fantastical creation, while soldiers in traditional uniforms stand nearby, adding an element of military presence to the scene. The exaggerated hoop skirt worn by the girl further emphasizes the humorous nature of this artwork. Robida's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the intricate design of L Elephant De La Bastille to the bustling streetscape in the background. Through his artistry, he transports us to a bygone era filled with charm and wit. This print captures not only Robida's artistic brilliance but also provides a glimpse into French society during the 19th century. It serves as a delightful reminder that art has always been an avenue for social commentary and reflection on our ever-evolving world.
