EDITORS COMMENTS
In this cartoon about science titled "The Comete of 1857" we are transported back in time to witness a humorous exchange between two neighbors. The engraving, created by the talented Honore Daumier in 1857, depicts a scene from the French newspaper "Le Charivari". Measuring at 38x25cm and housed in the Marseille Museum of Fine Arts' Collection Arts Graphic, this artwork showcases Daumier's mastery of caricature and his ability to capture societal themes. Through his artistry, he brings attention to the intersection of knowledge and everyday life. The cartoon portrays one neighbor peering out of his window with astonishment while pointing towards something unseen. His companion stands beside him, perplexed by the commotion caused by their neighbor's outcry. With a touch of humor, Daumier prompts us to question what could have possibly caused such an uproar. This piece not only highlights Daumier's artistic talent but also reflects on society's fascination with astronomy during that era. The mention of a comet suggests that scientific discoveries were capturing public attention and sparking curiosity among people from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with knowledge and can provide valuable insights into historical events and cultural perspectives.
