EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an enchanting illustration by Grandville for the novel "Un Autre Monde" by Henri Fournier, dating back to 1844. The intricate engraving showcases a battle between two vegetals, sugar cane and beet, both vying to produce sugar through refinement. Acting as an impartial arbitrator in this whimsical contest is a carrot, adding a touch of unexpected humor to the scene. The image delves into various themes such as food processing, the sugar industry, and allegory while employing anthropomorphism. It serves as a visual representation of transformations, visions, incarnations, fantasies, reveries, folatreries (foolishness), faceties (jokes), metamorphoses, apotheoses (elevations), and other intriguing elements found within Fournier's original edition. Grandville's masterful craftsmanship shines through his attention to detail and imaginative character design. The vibrant colors bring life to this surreal world where plants engage in combat with each other under the watchful gaze of a vegetable referee. This mesmerizing artwork not only reflects French literature from the 19th century but also offers inspiration for those who appreciate dreamlike imagery and symbolic storytelling. With its fusion of nature and human-like qualities assigned to plants, it invites viewers into an imaginary realm where rivalries are settled amidst fantastical landscapes. © Patrice Cartier has skillfully preserved this remarkable piece of artistry that continues to captivate audiences even after almost two centuries since its creation.
