EDITORS COMMENTS
Seul moyen de faire avec sécurité" (The only way to do it safely), created by Honore Daumier in the 19th century, is a captivating lithograph that masterfully captures the essence of human distrust and the emergence of modern transportation. In this image, two men, each armed with a gun, cautiously peer into their respective train compartments, their facial expressions conveying a palpable sense of unease and suspicion. The title of the work, "The only way to do it safely," adds a layer of irony to the scene, as the men's weapons seem to contradict the notion of safety. This caricature, with its humorous yet insightful commentary on the human condition, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius. The image is a depiction of the era's growing distrust of new technologies and the unease that came with the advent of rail travel. The monochrome palette adds to the somber mood, while the lettering of the title and the artist's signature, "Honore Daumier," gracefully complement the overall composition. This historic work of art, with its rich cultural heritage, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the 19th century. It is an invaluable addition to any art center or gallery, and its parody of human nature continues to resonate with audiences today. This print, with its compelling concept and intriguing depiction of figures, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the human experience. This lithograph, "Seul moyen de faire avec sécurité," is a unique and valuable piece of art history, and its presence in any collection is sure to add depth and character to the space. Whether displayed in a museum, art center, or private collection, this work is a reminder of the past and a reflection of the present. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Honore Daumier.
