EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The broth of the day" takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1869. Created by the talented artist Andre Gill, this illustration was featured on the cover of "L'Eclipse" magazine on June 6th that year. The artwork showcases a humorous caricature depicting a scene centered around meat extract. Intriguingly detailed, Gill's engraving captures the essence of French culture during this time period. The characters depicted in the print are comically exaggerated, their expressions and gestures adding an element of whimsy to the overall composition. It is evident that Gill possessed both artistic skill and a keen sense of humor. "The broth of the day" serves as a reminder of how food has always been an integral part of human life and society. This particular illustration highlights meat extract, which was likely considered a delicacy at that time. Through his artistry, Gill invites viewers to imagine themselves enjoying this flavorful dish amidst the lively atmosphere of Parisian cafes. Preserved within private collections today, this print by Leonard de Selva continues to captivate audiences with its historical charm and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it now, we can't help but be transported back in time to experience a taste - both figuratively and literally -of 19th century France through Andre Gill's masterful work.
