From centuries-old engravings to vibrant lithographs, this collection showcases the timeless allure of pranks that have brought joy and laughter throughout history. In "Responsibilities of an Atelier: Number 1: The Arrival and Reception of a Newcomer, " Hippolyte Bellangé captures the mischievous spirit as a man finds himself suspended upside down from a window by his coat-tails. The vivid colors in "The Talking Head" add an extra layer of intrigue to this playful scene. Meanwhile, in "A Practical Joke, in the British Institution, " an engraving transports us back to a time when humor knew no bounds. We witness a man unknowingly about to sit on a drawing pin left by a naughty boy—a classic prank that never fails to elicit chuckles. Richard Strauss's illustration for Till Eulenspiegel Story brings forth another tale filled with jests. As Sir Launcelot dons Sir Kay's armor, we are reminded that even legendary figures can fall victim to lighthearted trickery. Not limited to indoor settings, practical jokes also find their place outdoors. In "A Practical Joke in the Desert, " depicted through lithography, we witness how even arid landscapes become playgrounds for humorous antics. Leaping forward in time, Le Figaro Illustre presents us with "Une Vielle Farce (An Old Joke). " This colorful lithograph cover from October 1896 invites us into its pages filled with comical tales waiting to be discovered. Whether it is a woman playfully hurling snowballs or revelers engaging in round dances at Old Nuremberg's main city square—practical jokes transcend cultures and eras, uniting us through laughter.
