EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Honore Daumier's renowned cartoon series, "Tenants et Owners" titled "Unconvenient to visit, without caution, an entresol whose ceiling is a little too low". The image showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for caricature as he humorously depicts the challenges faced by inhabitants of a cramped living space. In this particular engraving, we witness a woman standing in front of a door on the entresol level. With her head tilted slightly downwards due to the low ceiling above her, she appears inconvenienced and cautious about entering. The owner and janitor engage in conversation nearby, seemingly discussing the difficulties associated with such limited vertical space. Daumier's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the girl's facial expression reflecting annoyance mixed with curiosity to the intricate engravings that bring life to each character present. This piece serves as both social commentary and entertainment, shedding light on the struggles faced by individuals residing in cramped quarters during 19th-century France. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this iconic work through his lens, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to experience Daumier's satirical genius firsthand.
