EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cartoon about couples: The half world" takes us back to the year 1879, where societal norms and relationships were depicted with a touch of humor. Created by an anonymous artist, this engraving was featured in the renowned "Petit Journal pour Rire". The image portrays a scene between two individuals, presumably a couple. The man is seen pointing towards something while expressing his disappointment, exclaiming, "Decidedly, my little one, you're too stupid! It is with gold and not iron that I get!". His frustration suggests a desire for wealth or material possessions. Meanwhile, the woman appears downtrodden and sad. Her expression reflects her misery as she listens to her partner's declaration. This caricature highlights themes of love, poverty, seduction, and societal expectations prevalent during that era. Through this artwork's satirical lens, we catch a glimpse into French society at the time – its stark contrasts between wealth and poverty and how it influenced human relationships. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully captured these complex emotions through his detailed engravings. As we observe this historical piece today from our modern perspective, it serves as a reminder of how societal values have evolved over time. Despite being created over 140 years ago by an unknown artist in France’s past era of pauperism; it still resonates with viewers today due to its timeless portrayal of human nature within relationships.
