EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures Henri Maurice Berteaux, the Minister of War in France during two separate terms in the early 20th century. Known for his controversial political decisions and actions, Berteaux was often a target for satirical illustrations such as this one from 'L'Assiette au Beurre', a French weekly magazine with anarchist leanings.
In this particular illustration from 1906, Berteaux is depicted in a humorous and exaggerated manner that highlights his perceived flaws and shortcomings as a government official. The artist behind this piece used their creative talents to mock and criticize Berteaux's policies and behavior, making a bold statement about the state of politics at that time.
Despite being lampooned in such a public way, Berteaux continued to serve as Minister of War until his death in 1911. This image serves as a reminder of the power of satire in holding those in positions of authority accountable for their actions.
Through this photo print, we are given a glimpse into the turbulent world of French politics at the turn of the century, where even high-ranking officials like Henri Maurice Berteaux were not immune to criticism and ridicule.
