EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph from 1902 captures the essence of a satirical French comic titled "Il y a recevoir et recevoir" (There is receiving and receiving). The illustration, created by an anonymous artist from the 20th century, showcases a scene filled with gentlemanly violence, humor, and domestic chaos. In this comical portrayal of home life, we witness a frustrated wife confronting her abusive husband in the presence of their housemaid. The caller at the door adds to the tension as he witnesses this amusing yet disturbing interaction. The clever pun in the title suggests that there are different ways to receive someone's actions or words. The cartoon-like style brings out the exaggerated emotions and expressions on each character's face. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary on marriage dynamics during that era. This satirical drawing delves into themes such as anger, rage, bitterness - all elements associated with human emotion. Through its scathing satire and witty caricature, this artwork highlights societal issues surrounding gender roles and power dynamics within households. It also touches upon larger concepts like Europe's seven deadly sins. Overall, this humorous print offers an entertaining glimpse into early 20th-century France while shedding light on deeper cultural nuances through its clever visual storytelling.
