EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "What? Do you not recognise her?" transports us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the historical and cultural context of the time. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a surprising encounter on a serene street. In this scene, we witness a group of men walking along the cobblestone path with expressions of astonishment etched across their faces. They seem perplexed as they point towards a woman who gracefully carries firewood on her shoulder. The woman herself remains composed and unaffected by their curiosity. This illustration originally served as an accompaniment to J. B. J Champagnac's book "Le Genie de la France" published in 1850. It captures the essence of French culture and history during that era when promenading was an integral part of society. The intricate details and masterful engraving techniques employed in this print bring life to each character and evoke a sense of intrigue within viewers. As we admire this piece from our private collection, it prompts us to reflect on how societal norms have evolved over time while reminding us that appearances can be deceiving. "What? Do you not recognise her?" invites us to delve deeper into the complexities of human perception and challenges our preconceived notions about identity and recognition.
