EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Little Creve, studying phrenology" we are transported back to Paris in 1868. The image captures a young boy, known as Little Creve, engrossed in the study of phrenology. With his intense gaze and furrowed brow, he appears deep in thought as he examines the bumps and contours on a human skull. The artwork is featured on the cover of "L Eclipse" a renowned French journal from that era. Created by Pepin, an artist active during the late 19th century, this engraving showcases his talent for capturing intricate details with precision and finesse. Phrenology was a popular pseudoscience at the time, which claimed that one's personality traits and abilities could be determined by examining the shape and size of different areas of their head. This image serves as both an intriguing historical artifact and a commentary on society's fascination with unconventional sciences during that period. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Parisian culture over 150 years ago. It reminds us of how art can capture not only aesthetic beauty but also reflect societal interests and beliefs. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly preserves this moment in history for future generations to appreciate its significance.
