EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Les pourquoi de monsieur Toto" offers a satirical take on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Created by Caran D Ache and Emmanuel Poire in 1900, this engraving showcases their artistic prowess and wit. The image features a giraffe standing tall next to a palm tree, both central symbols in Darwinian evolution. With keen observation and cleverness, the artists use humor to mock the idea of species development over time. Through this caricature, they playfully question why certain animals have evolved distinct characteristics or behaviors. The exaggerated length of the giraffe's neck is presented as an amusing example of nature's quirkiness. This satirical piece invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of Darwin's theory while simultaneously offering entertainment through its whimsical portrayal. It serves as a reminder that even scientific ideas can be subject to lighthearted scrutiny and parody. Preserved in a private collection, this black-and-white print captures the essence of Caran D Ache and Emmanuel Poire's artistic brilliance. Its inclusion in eArchives Charmet ensures that this thought-provoking artwork continues to inspire curiosity about our natural world for generations to come.
