EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Positions of Power on the Question of the Orient, 1839" by Benjamin Roubaud takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image measures 20 x 29.5 cm and is printed on a sheet that is 22.8 x 31.7 cm in size. The artwork portrays an intriguing juxtaposition of power dynamics and cultural inquiry surrounding the Orient during the mid-19th century. Roubaud, a French artist born in 1811, skillfully captures this complex subject matter through his meticulous lithographic technique. In this print, we witness various figures representing positions of authority engaged in intense discussions about the Orient. Their animated gestures and expressions reveal their deep involvement with this topic that was highly debated at that time. The composition invites viewers to ponder upon questions related to colonialism, imperialism, and cultural exchange between East and West during this period. It serves as a visual documentation of intellectual discourse prevalent among scholars and politicians who sought to understand and exert influence over Eastern territories. Printed by Aubert & Cie. , renowned for their expertise in lithography, this artwork not only showcases Roubaud's artistic talent but also highlights the technical mastery achieved by Aubert & Cie. As we delve into this historical lithograph from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era where power dynamics clashed with curiosity about distant lands - leaving us with lingering thoughts about our own positionality within today's globalized world.
