EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Cartoon about Parisian couples. At the ball of the Opera: 'So we don't eat?" by Anonymous, found in a private collection, takes us back to an era of French elegance and societal norms. Created by Stefano Bianchetti, this engraving showcases a humorous caricature that satirizes the upper-class society of Paris during the 19th century. In this scene at the grand ball of the Opera, we witness a couple engaged in conversation amidst a sea of extravagantly dressed individuals. The caption humorously captures their concern as they question whether indulging in food is appropriate within such refined circles. It playfully highlights both their desire for sustenance and their awareness of societal expectations. Bianchetti's skillful execution brings forth intricate details that depict not only the opulence but also the underlying moral codes prevalent among these Parisian elites. Through his artistry, he sheds light on mondanity - a term used to describe fashionable social life - while subtly critiquing its superficial nature. This print serves as a window into French history and offers valuable insights into cultural practices and attitudes towards class distinctions during that time period. As it belongs to Stefano Bianchetti's out-of-copyright works, it continues to be cherished for its artistic brilliance and historical significance by enthusiasts worldwide.
