EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the front cover of La Presse Parisienne from 19th February 1882, featuring a caricature of the renowned French novelist Emile Zola. Created by Cohl (Emile Courtet), this color lithograph showcases Zola's distinctive features, including his spectacles, beard, and glasses. The image is directed at Pot-Bouille, one of Zola's novels in the Rougon-Macquart series. It cleverly satirizes bourgeois manners with its fierce critique. The caption humorously refers to "the art of placing commas" highlighting Zola's meticulous attention to punctuation in his writing. Zola was a prominent male author during the late 19th century and played a significant role in shaping French literature. His works often explored social issues and exposed corruption within society. This particular caricature emphasizes his influence as a writer while also showcasing his unique appearance. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into both literary history and artistic expression. With its vivid colors and detailed depiction of Zola's likeness, it serves as a testament to the enduring impact of this influential figure. Overall, this image not only celebrates Emile Zola but also highlights the power of satire in exposing societal flaws through artistry and wit.
