EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical hand-coloured lithograph captures the essence of political satire in 19th-century France. Titled "Cabinet d Histoire Naturelle" it showcases a collection of caricatured animals representing prominent figures from that era. Among the men depicted are Antoine Maurice Apollinaire d'Argout as a toucan, Felix Barthe as a chameleon, Marshal Jean de Dieu Soult as a crocodile, Charles-Guillaume Etienne as a fish, Ferdinand Philippe Duke of Orleans as an ibis, Adolphe Thiers as a hummingbird, Auguste Jean Marie Schonen as a tadpole, Georges Mouton Lobau as a toad, Jean Pons Gillaume Viennet as a lyrebird, Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot as a hyena, Jean Charles Persil as a jackal, and Louis Philippe himself portrayed humorously with the features of parrot. Each animal is meticulously rendered with intricate details and exaggerated characteristics that reflect their respective personalities or roles in society. From sash epaulettes to Phrygian hats and even bags of money held by some creatures - every element adds another layer to this satirical masterpiece. The artist's clever use of animal symbolism not only provides entertainment but also serves to critique politics and power dynamics during this period. This print offers viewers an amusing glimpse into the world of French politics through the lens of caricatured wildlife.
