EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "L'Assiette au beurre, numero 149, Satirique en Couleurs, 1904_2_6: Transport, Monopole, Metro" transports us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century France. Created by Georges Dupuis in 1904, this satirical illustration offers a humorous commentary on the state of public transportation during that time. In this scene filled with intricate details and vibrant colors, we see a street crowded with various modes of transport. A horse-drawn omnibus takes center stage as it competes for space with other vehicles such as bicycles and carriages. The artist cleverly depicts the chaos and congestion that often accompanied urban travel in those days. The image also highlights the issue of monopoly within the transportation industry. Through his artful satire, Dupuis criticizes the dominance of certain companies over public transport services. This critique is further emphasized by the presence of a driver who appears to be struggling under immense pressure while managing multiple horses pulling different carriages. Beyond its social commentary, this print captures a snapshot of French society at the turn of the century. It showcases not only human activity but also includes animals like horses which were an integral part of daily life back then. Overall, "L'Assiette au beurre" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document – offering viewers a glimpse into an era defined by rapid urbanization and evolving modes of transportation.
