Milestone Monday

On this day, November 6, 1771, Alois Senefelder (1771-1834) inventor of lithography was born. The son of an actor and tasked with supporting his mother and siblings after his father’s death, Senefelder began his own acting career at age twenty and extended his occupational talents into playwriting. Unable to afford to publish a new play he’d written, Senefelder experimented with what he called “stone printing” in the 1790s, etching acid resistant ink onto limestone and subsequently inventing the first planographic process in printing. Senefelder perfected the chemical process and designed a special printing press with the help of the André family and within five years lithography was being used as a cheap form of creating reproductions by publishers and in mapmaking by land surveying offices throughout Europe.  

By the early 1800’s Senefelder and his contemporaries were thinking of ways to introduce color to lithography. Senefelder outlined his ideas on chromolithography in his 1818 book A Complete Course of Lithography, but it was Godefroy Engelmann of France who was awarded the patent for it in 1837.  

In celebration of Senefelder’s birthday and all that he contributed to the printing world; we’re looking at the American Encyclopedia of Printing published in 1871 by Menamin & Ringwalt of Philadelphia. Included within the section on lithography is a storied portrait of Senefelder surrounded by his tools and accomplishments. The lithographic portrait was printed by Duval & Hunter, lithographers and chromo publishers out of Philadelphia.

It wasn’t long before artists saw the appeal of lithographs and began taking advantage of the new printing technique. Lithography was far more approachable than other printing methods of the time like engraving, because artists could draw directly on the stone with familiar tools, such as pens and crayons. They did not need to master a new medium or skill to create highly accurate prints with deep textural qualities.

Among the artists of the 1800’s diving into lithography, Honoré-Victorin Daumier (1808-1879) excelled in the medium. Daumier was a prolific French artist who created more than 4,000 lithographs in addition to his many sculptures, paintings, drawings, and wood engravings. His specialty was satirical social caricatures of Parisian life where he effortlessly blended artistry, social commentary, and humor as showcased in the following lithographs held within our collection. The prints were published in 1840 by La maison Aubert of Paris.

Les Spectateurs de la Comète — Sur les boulevards (1857). Monument esthématique du XIXe siècle : les modes de Paris, variations du goût et de l'esthétique de la femme, 1797-1897. By Octave Uzanne. Illustrations by François Courboin. Paris, 1898. Bibliothèque nationale de France

“- Adelaide, Adelaide.. I think I can see the comet coming!!… - Oh my God… this is the end of the world…. how annoying. They promised it wouldn’t come until June 13!,” plate 31 from Croquis Parisiens, lithograph by Honoré Victorin Daumier, France. February 18,1857. The Art Institute of Chicago

After the Comet of Charles V failed to reappear in the 1840s, as astronomers predicted, a Belgian almanac writer announced that it would arrive on June 13, 1857, when it would collide with the earth and end all life. The prediction spread across Europe, but its effect was particularly pronounced in Paris, where terrified families began to prepare for the end. The situation was ripe for mockery, and it also enabled Daumier to compose a variety of night scenes, which he particularly enjoyed drawing. In this print, he devotes particular care to depicting how the candle illuminates his panicked Parisians.

“El vagon de tercera clase”  (Victorin Honoré Daumier) 1862

Oleo y lienzo 

Dimensiones 65.4 centímetros x 90.2 centímetros

Ubicación Museo Metropolitano de Arte (Estados Unidos) y Francia

Elegí esta pintura porque me pareció bastante nostálgica al describir la pobreza y resignación de los viajeros de clase trabajadora en un ferrocarril de tercera clase. Daumier intento denunciar la situación social de los mas desfavorecidos en las grandes ciudades. Recordemos que los vagones de los que viajaban en tercera clase constaban de asientos de madera corridos, sin calefacción y con un gran numero de personas aglomeradas. 

Podemos ver a primera vista a una anciana que no parece feliz ni triste, tiene una mirada perdida como muestra de resignación; a su izquierda tenemos a una mujer amamantando un bebé, dignificando la vida en un ambiente tan oscuro y en la parte de atrás a unos hombres bien vestidos que pareciaran ser burgueses o empleados de las fabricas que a pesar de que sus vestimentas tienen un semblante triste o cansado con actitudes melancólicas propias de la sociedad trabajadora del momento.
