EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing print captures the essence of Henry Cheron, the French Under-Secretary of State for War, in a satirical caricature. Created by renowned artist Charles Leandre, this colourful lithograph was originally published in Le Rire magazine on May 9th, 1908. Leandre's talent shines through as he masterfully exaggerates Cheron's features and mannerisms to create a humorous depiction. The artist skillfully blends elements of comedy and satire to comment on political and social issues surrounding the military and French politics at that time. Cheron is portrayed with comically oversized features, emphasizing his role as a politician within the army. This clever visual commentary highlights the often absurd nature of politics while poking fun at Cheron's position as Under-Secretary of State for War. The statue-like pose adds an additional layer of irony to this satirical piece. It suggests that despite being responsible for matters related to defense, Cheron may be more concerned with maintaining appearances rather than effectively leading combat units. Le Rire magazine was known for its scathing satire and witty cartoons, making it popular among readers seeking both entertainment and political commentary. This artwork exemplifies the magazine's dedication to providing thought-provoking content through artistic expression. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century France through Leandre's unique lens. Its combination of humor, artistry, and social critique make it an intriguing addition to any collection or display focused on European
