EDITORS COMMENTS
This color engraving, published by Remondini around 1720 in Italy, takes us back to the bizarre and humorous world of the 18th century. Titled "The World Upside Down that is the Modern Custom" this print challenges our perception of reality with its upside-down portrayal of a world map. In this whimsical scene, a large group of people are seen walking on their hands while domestic cattle roam freely above them. The role reversal between humans and animals adds an element of surprise and humor to the image. A bull stands tall at the center, seemingly leading this topsy-turvy society. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each figure is meticulously engraved, capturing their expressions of confusion or amusement. The horizontal format allows for a panoramic view that immerses viewers into this alternate universe. As we delve deeper into history through art like this, it reminds us how customs and perspectives have evolved over time. This playful depiction serves as a reminder that societal norms can be turned upside down in unexpected ways. "The World Upside Down" offers not only visual delight but also sparks curiosity about life during the 18th century. It invites contemplation on how different cultures perceive themselves and others throughout history. This enchanting print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us to an era where imagination ran wild and challenges conventional thinking with its unique blend of animal themes, role reversal, and historical context.
