EDITORS COMMENTS
An Enchanting Menagerie of Musical Creatures: A Chorus of Singing Animals by Grandville, 1828 This print, created by the renowned French caricaturist and graphic artist, J.J. Grandville, in 1828, presents a delightful scene of a chorus of animals in human attire, gathered together for a musical performance. The ensemble includes a diverse cast of creatures, each dressed in elegant Victorian-era costumes, showcasing Grandville's extraordinary artistic talent and whimsical sense of humor. At the helm of this musical extravaganza stands a monkey conductor, poised with baton in hand, directing the orchestra with an air of authority and confidence. The bovine accompanist, seated at the piano, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene with its elegant hooves poised above the keys. The chorus of animals, consisting of lions, elephants, giraffes, and other exotic creatures, harmonize their voices in a beautiful melody, their human-like faces expressing the joy and passion of their musical endeavor. The intricate details of their costumes and the playful expressions on their faces add to the overall charm and enchantment of the scene. Grandville's "Singers (Grandville)" is a testament to the artist's ability to blur the lines between reality and fantasy, inviting viewers to imagine a world where animals can not only sing but also perform in human society. This print is a true masterpiece of the Romantic era, showcasing the beauty and wonder of nature infused with the elegance and refinement of human culture.
