Artist: honoré daumier
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1808 – 1879

Daumier dedicated several series over the course of his career to mocking the rising middle class in Paris. One way to efficiently strip the bourgeoisie of their dignity was to remove their clothing, and Daumier produced numerous scenes of middle-class swimmers, both male and female. In this print, both men cling to some vestige of dress—one carries his parasol, while the second continues to wear his top hat, a symbol of the bourgeoisie, even when half submerged in water. These accessories only emphasize how much these men must depend on their clothing to prove their status.

Inscriptions: Unmarked recto; verso unchecked

Married and the mother of three children, Gertrude Käsebier took up photography in her forties. She achieved success quickly: in 1898–99 Käsebier exhibited at the elite Philadelphia Photographic Salon, befriended the influential dealer and photographer Alfred Stieglitz, joined the Camera Club of New York, and opened her own studio. This photograph of a Nativity scene bolstered her reputation as a photographer: Stieglitz published it in his early journal Camera Notes and again in the opening issue of Camera Work, in which Käsebier was the featured artist. With its soft focus, rich tonality, deep emotional overtones, and classical source material, The Manger epitomizes the pictorialist aesthetic cultivated by fine art photographers of the period. Käsebier was praised for her heartfelt images of mothers and children, in which she created the appearance of unposed authenticity even with staged subjects. In this tender depiction, the model holds nothing more than a bundle of blankets.

Whistler found this dilapidated building during a summer tour of Alsace-Lorraine and the Rhineland. He carried sketchbooks, etching needles and copper plates, etching about six plates between mid-August and October. Such restraint suggests many preparatory sketches and careful planning before needle touched copper. Crumbling architecture is here given an unidealized individuality in a way that echoes how realist painters approached the human figure. In November 1858, Whistler included the print in his first published set, "Douze eau-fortes d'apres Nature" ("Twelve Etchings from Nature"), known as the "French Set."
