EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print titled "The small hobgoblins" captures the whimsical world of 19th-century French entertainment. The image showcases a group of mischievous hobgoblins, dressed in elegant suits and top hats, engaging in an opera performance. With their opera glasses in hand, these gentlemen seem to be thoroughly enjoying the show. The print is reminiscent of trade cards from that era, which were used as promotional materials for various businesses and events. It offers a delightful glimpse into the social scene of the time when attending operas was considered a popular leisure activity among both men and women. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable – from the intricate designs on their gloves to the carefully tailored three-piece suits they wear. Every element exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting French culture during this period. This postcard-sized artwork provides us with a fascinating window into European history, specifically France's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and transport us back to bygone eras filled with humor and charm. Displayed within private collections today, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its playful depiction of hobgoblins immersed in theatrical splendor.
