EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1833, titled "Louis Philippe with a night cap on his head, surrounded by turkeys" is a brilliant example of political satire and caricature. Created by Auguste Bouquet, it depicts the King of France, Louis-Philippe, wearing a night cap while being surrounded by a group of turkeys. The image humorously portrays Louis-Philippe as he forces the turkeys to sing "Vive le roi" (Long live the king), creating an amusing scene known as the "Opening of a turkey session". The cartoon cleverly captures the political climate of that time and reflects public sentiment towards the monarch. Published in La Caricature in 1833, this satirical drawing offers scathing commentary on Louis-Philippe's reign. The perspective shows us only the back view of Louis-Philippe with his night cap and emphasizes his control over both birds and people. The lithograph showcases Bouquet's artistic talent in capturing not only human features but also animal characteristics. The wild turkeys depicted add another layer to this artwork as they symbolize farm animals and livestock commonly associated with France. As we observe this piece today, it serves as a fascinating glimpse into French history during the early nineteenth century. It reminds us how art can be used to convey powerful messages about politics and society. This print is part of a private collection but has been preserved for all to appreciate thanks to The Holbarn Archive.
