EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the second half of the 19th century, featuring street singers in an engraving titled "Street Singers. Caricatures-Singeries". The print was produced by Pellerin and Cie, a renowned lithography company based in Epinal, France. The image depicts a group of anthropomorphic animals dressed in elaborate costumes, engaging in their musical performance on the streets. A monkey plays the mandolin while a harpist accompanies him with melodious tunes. Their comical appearance adds to the laughable nature of this caricature. The French School artist behind this engraving, Jean Duvallon, skillfully captures both the laborious aspect of street trade and the joyous spirit of music through his detailed writing strokes. This piece reflects not only Duvallon's talent but also serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage during that era. Measuring at 41.5x27.5 cm, this vintage plate numbered 158 is part of a private collection and offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into historical entertainment culture. With its clever use of animal characters and playful mockery towards society's norms, it invites us to appreciate artistry that transcends time. As we admire this remarkable photograph captured by A© Jean Duvallon for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again how art can transport us back to different eras while simultaneously sparking our imagination and curiosity about history's many facets
