PCT4260935 Cartoon: La Chambre des Deputes vue comme un Palais des Monpes - Engraving by Grandville, extracted from the book " Private and public life of animals (Les animaux painted pa them memes)", Hetzel edition 1867 p. 566 - Chapter entitled "Tablets of the Giraffe", written by Charles Nodier. Extract from the text: "... a multitude of business characters, tumultuous, noisy, who differed, at first glance, from the rest of Men only by a more characteristic ugliness... which I easily attributed to the habit of serious meditations and serious affairs. [...] They would jump, call their opponents with shouts and threatening gestures, or show them their teeth with scary faces... It was impossible for me to grasp a word in this immense hustle and I withdrew from tired war, horribly deafened by vociferations, squeaks, whistles, hoees, without being able to establish the appearance of a conjecture about the object and the results of the deliberations." by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) (1803-47); (add.info.: Cartoon: La Chambre des Deputes vue comme un Palais des Monpes - Engraving by Grandville, extracted from the book " Private and public life of animals (Les animaux painted pa them memes)", Hetzel edition 1867 p. 566 - Chapter entitled "Tablets of the Giraffe", written by Charles Nodier.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing engraving by Grandville, titled "La Chambre des Deputes vue comme un Palais des Monpes," offers a satirical look at the political world through the lens of animal behavior. Taken from the book "Private and public life of animals" published in 1867, this illustration depicts a chaotic scene in a legislative chamber where animals are portrayed as politicians engaged in heated debates and power struggles.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in the expressive faces and body language of the animal characters, each conveying a sense of urgency and intensity. The text accompanying the image describes a scene filled with noise, aggression, and confusion as these creatures engage in what appears to be important deliberations.
Through his whimsical yet thought-provoking artwork, Grandville invites viewers to reflect on human society's own political landscape. The juxtaposition of familiar political scenarios with animal imagery serves as a clever commentary on power dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the often absurd nature of politics.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that even in the realm of animals, there exists a parallel world where ambition, conflict, and intrigue play out much like our own. It is an artistic interpretation that challenges us to consider how our actions mirror those seen within this fantastical depiction.
