This print titled "Guardians House Friends Saltimbanque 1875" by Félix Hilaire Buhot takes us back to the vibrant streets of France in the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of friends, perhaps performers or artists, gathered outside a house. Their colorful attire and animated expressions hint at their lively personalities. Buhot's mastery of various printmaking techniques is evident in this piece. Through etching, aquatint, drypoint, and roulette, he skillfully captures intricate details and textures that bring the scene to life. The sheet size measures 19.2 x 22.3 cm, while the platemark is slightly smaller at 9.5 x 12.3 cm. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie and warmth as these individuals come together in front of their shared abode.
