EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Old Orpheus: cartoon about Victor Hugo and Russia" we are transported back to the 19th century, where French literature meets Russian caricature. Created by Gilbert-Martin (Gilbert Martin), this artwork was featured in the publication "Don Quixote" on June 23,1882. The image portrays a whimsical scene that combines elements of fantasy and reality. A prominent figure in French literature, Victor Hugo, takes center stage as he interacts with the enigmatic world of Russia. The artist skillfully captures Hugo's essence through his expressive facial features and distinctive attire. Surrounded by a group of characters representing various aspects of Russian culture, Hugo appears both intrigued and amused by their presence. This clever juxtaposition highlights the profound impact that different cultures can have on artistic inspiration. The attention to detail in this drawing is remarkable; every line conveys a story waiting to be discovered. It is evident that Gilbert-Martin possessed a deep understanding of both literary traditions and visual storytelling. As we admire this vintage masterpiece captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to bridge cultural divides and ignite our imagination across time and space. This print serves as an invitation for us to delve into the rich tapestry woven between France and Russia during one of history's most vibrant periods for literature and creativity.
