"Journey for Eternity, No. 1" is a lithograph created by French artist J.J. Grandville between 1834 and 1844. This satirical piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a group of skeletal figures, including Death himself, escorting a woman on a carriage ride. Grandville was known for his dark humor and social commentary, often using fantastical imagery to critique contemporary issues. This work, like many of his others, playfully explores the themes of mortality and the inevitability of death in a humorous yet thought-provoking manner.
