The Young Savage of Saint-Ouen, Paris, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of late 19th century France. This remarkable artwork, created by Henri Meyer and featured in Le Petit Journal on November 27th, 1898, showcases a young boy who captivates audiences with his extraordinary circus act. Dressed in an elaborate circus costume filled with vivid colors and intricate details, the young performer exudes both grace and strength as he dances across the stage. His energetic movements bring joy and entertainment to all those lucky enough to witness his talent firsthand. This image not only captures a moment of pure entertainment but also provides insight into the social dynamics of the time. The fascination with "freaks" or individuals considered different from societal norms was prevalent during this era. The boy's portrayal as a savage reflects society's voyeuristic tendencies towards those perceived as exotic or unusual. Henri Meyer's engraving skillfully depicts this unique character against the backdrop of Saint-Ouen, a suburb located in Ile de France. Through his artistry, Meyer transports us to another time and place where show business thrived amidst bustling streets and curious onlookers. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print today, we are reminded of the enduring power of art media to preserve history and evoke emotions across centuries. AccuSoft Inc. 's preservation efforts ensure that this enchanting piece continues to be appreciated for generations to come.
