According to Maria Morris Hambourg:
“Anything can happen in the magical world of the fairy pantomime. In answer to Pierrot's supplication, a basket of fruit materializes between his hands, a gift from heaven that strikes him with delight…
Although Nadar could have provided Deburau with any type of food—sausage, wine, a sumptuos cake—he opted for fruit, the first answer to a primitive man's appetite.

The Family of Man
1950s photography global exhibition
This article is about the photography exhibition. For other uses, see The Family of Man (disambiguation).
For the biblical family of man, see Generations of Noah.
The Family of Man was an ambitious[1][2] exhibition of 503 photographs from 68 countries curated by Edward Steichen, the director of the New York City Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) department of photography. According to Steichen, the exhibition represented the "culmination of his career".[3] The title was taken from a line in a Carl Sandburg poem.
The Family of Man was exhibited in 1955 from January 24 to May 8 at the New York MoMA, then toured the world for eight years to record-breaking audience numbers. Commenting on its appeal, Steichen said, "The people in the audience looked at the pictures, and the people in the pictures looked back at them. They recognized each other."[4] The physical collection is archived and displayed[5] at Clervaux Castle in Edward Steichen's home country of Luxembourg, where he was born in 1879 in Bivange. It was first exhibited there in 1994 after restoration of the prints.[6]
In 2003, the Family of Man photographic collection was added to UNESCO's Memory
