EDITORS COMMENTS
(Continuing the Entertainment of the Turning Tables, 1835) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created in the 19th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Paris and the intriguing phenomenon of table turning, a popular form of spiritual entertainment during that era. Daumier's caricature, titled "Parisian Sketches," offers a humorous and satirical depiction of the seance in progress. The image is filled with a lively scene of men gathered around a table, their faces contorted in various expressions of amazement, skepticism, and amusement. The table, seemingly coming to life, is in the midst of a turmoil as it turns and shakes, with spirits supposedly communicating through raps and knocks. The monochromatic palette of the lithograph, with its grey and black tones, adds to the mysterious and otherworldly atmosphere. The artist's masterful use of lettering and intricate detailing in the figures further emphasizes the intrigue and humor of the scene. This antique print, now part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C., is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of belief, humor, and social commentary that characterized 19th-century Parisian culture. The continuing allure of this work lies in its ability to transport us to an era long past, inviting us to ponder the human fascination with the unknown and the power of art to both entertain and provoke thought.
