EDITORS COMMENTS
Le bon moyen. Illustration for Le Pele-Mele, 1902 (colour litho) by Benjamin Rabier captures a comical and satirical scene set in early 20th century France. In this humorous cartoon, we witness a clever play on politics and bribery. The image depicts an official from the French ministry, dressed in his uniform, standing next to a large pot of lard labeled 'Grease'. With a mischievous grin on his face, he extends his hand towards another character who seems to be offering him money as a bribe. The caption suggests that this is indeed the 'bon moyen' or the right way to get things done within political circles. Rabier's witty satire highlights the prevalent misunderstanding and corruption within politics during that era. Through exaggerated caricatures and amusing details like the pot of lard symbolizing bribery, he pokes fun at the system while delivering scathing commentary. This satirical drawing not only entertains but also offers insight into French culture and European politics of the time. It serves as a reminder that even in serious matters such as governance, humor can be used effectively to shed light on societal flaws. As we admire this vintage print from Le Pele-Mele magazine dating back to July 6th, 1902, it reminds us of how art has always played an essential role in reflecting upon our society with wit and creativity.
