EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertisement for the renowned literary magazine, Le Petit Journal des Refusees. Published in 1869, this ad is a true testament to the artistic and literary scene of that era. The illustration by Ernest C. Peixotto takes center stage, depicting a man and woman engrossed in reading while surrounded by an intriguing art deco backdrop. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable - from the intricate lines of the skeleton key hanging from the woman's hand to the delicate features on their faces, every element adds depth to this composition. The choice of using a skeleton as part of the imagery brings forth an air of mystery and curiosity. Le Petit Journal des Refusees was known for its avant-garde content, pushing boundaries within literature and art alike. This ad serves as a window into that world, inviting readers to explore new perspectives through its thought-provoking text. Originally published in San Francisco during the mid-19th century, this literary journal played a significant role in shaping American culture at that time. It provided an outlet for emerging writers and artists who were often overlooked by mainstream publications. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured beautifully through photography, we are reminded of how literature has always been intertwined with visual arts - both mediums influencing one another throughout history.
